ARH NEWS RELEASE – Symptoms of Lyme Disease and Other Tick-Borne Illnesses

Don’t miss these symptoms of tick-borne diseases. Treatment can prevent serious illness.

Lexington, KY – Ticks can transmit a variety of diseases to humans when they bite. And unfortunately, it’s not always that easy to tell when a tick is on your body, or even when one has bitten you because many ticks are so small.

“Ticks are common across the eastern United States, so you are likely to come across one or more if you are spending time outside,” said ARH Director of Epidemiology Amanda Taylor. “Take tick prevention seriously by wearing long clothing when possible, treating clothing with permethrin, and wearing insect repellent.”
Taylor says that if you find a tick on you, “Carefully remove the tick using fine-point tweezers or a special tick-removing tool, and clean the area well. If you develop symptoms of a tickborne disease or have an unexplained allergic reaction after eating, go see your doctor. Tick-borne diseases can typically be treated with antibiotics.”

Recognizing the symptoms of common tick-borne diseases makes it more likely you can get medical attention quickly if you have been bitten by a tick. Many tick-borne illnesses have similar symptoms, so if you have these symptoms after getting bitten by a tick, see a doctor:
Rash
Fever/chills
Headache
Muscle aches/joint pain
Fatigue

ARH NEWS RELEASE – Vaccination and awareness are key in measles prevention

With Kentucky in the midst of the largest reported measles outbreak in 35 years, Dr. Frares Khater, ARH System Director of Infectious Disease, is urging providers to stay diligent in recognition, reporting and prevention education efforts.
According to the Kentucky Department of Public Health, 15 cases have been confirmed in western and central Kentucky in the past few days. Those cases in Christian, Owen, Todd, Trigg and Washington counties bring the total number of cases in 2026 to 19.

“We want to make sure all of our providers and any of our hospital and clinic staff know the symptoms should someone present with measles,” he said. “So, we’re looking for anyone presenting with a fever, cough, runny nose, red and watery eyes and a rash. If you see those, it’s important to test for measles.”

Patients diagnosed with measles should be put in isolation in the office or hospital, while the provider notifies the health department as well as the hospital infection preventionist.
