Preventing Lyme Disease in Millburn, NJ
Understanding how Lyme disease is contracted is key to preventing it in the future. Ticks live in heavily wooded areas, so be sure to avoid areas with thick woods.
Always check for ticks before returning inside, even if you were not near the woods. Additionally, wear long pants, closed shoes, hats, and other protective gear to avoid a tick bite.
Be sure to pay attention to your local news for updates on tick alerts.

Urgent care is for medical conditions that require prompt attention but do not pose an immediate threat to your health or life. Here is a simple rule of thumb: if your medical issues(s) are life threatening, call 911, or go directly to a hospital emergency room. If not, an urgent care center such as AFC is an excellent alternative.
