New Jersey statute (Title 18A:35-5.1) requires that Lyme disease prevention be included within the public school health curriculum. Additionally, and a new Senate Bill (No. 2463) aims to incorporate other tick-borne diseases, tick habitat, recommended attire and repellants to help protect an individual from ticks, how to perform tick checks, proper techniques for the removal of ticks, and symptoms an individual may experience after receiving a tick bite into the curriculum. These topics are all covered in the New Jersey Department of Health (NJDOH) Tick-borne Disease Education Toolkit available online at www.nj.gov/health/cd/topics/vectorborne.shtml.
