A serious tick-borne disease is spiking in Maine this year

MONTPELIER, Vt. —The season for tick bites isn't over yet with a second round coming this fall and health officials in parts of northern New England are warning about a rise in another tick-borne disease other than Lyme.The Vermont Health Department said late last month that the state is approaching its highest number of reported cases of anaplasmosis, spread by the bite of the black-legged tick, or deer tick, which also transmits Lyme disease.Symptoms of anaplasmosis include fever, headache, chills and muscle aches and can be treated with antibiotics.So far this year, 133 cases have been reported in Vermont, compared to 139 in all of 2015.
