Health Considerations in Connecticut
Connecticut is located in the heart of the Lyme disease belt — the state consistently reports some of the highest per-capita rates of Lyme disease in the country — and tick exposure is a concern from late spring through early fall across the state's wooded suburban landscape. Cold, wet winters also make respiratory infections, influenza, and upper respiratory tract infections among the most common reasons Connecticut residents seek urgent care between November and March.
