Health Considerations in Vermont
Vermont's rural, forested landscape puts residents and visitors at significant risk for Lyme disease and other tick-borne illnesses from late spring through fall — the state reports high rates of Lyme disease relative to its population size. The state's ski industry makes it one of the most active winter sports destinations in the Northeast, and ski-related orthopedic injuries — particularly knee and wrist injuries — are a major driver of urgent care visits from December through March.
