There is ongoing concern about deer tick (black legged tick) borne illnesses, such as Lyme disease, in North Oaks. Furthermore, the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH), who would ordinarily track tick borne illnesses, is occupied with the fight against COVID19.  Since 2015 the city of North Oaks and NOHOA have augmented MDH disease surveillance data. Because MDH is behind in their tick borne illness data collection we would like to continue to monitor the incidence among residents. Instead of an annual survey as has been done in the past, this is a rolling/active survey, meant to be completed at the time of a deer tick encounter or diagnosis of a tick borne illness. The survey should take less than 5 minutes to complete. Answers are anonymous - thank you for participating!

* 1. In which section of North Oaks did the tick exposure/bite occur?
