We don’t have to live with Lyme disease
"Over-populated deer pose three main hazards: the spread of Lyme and other tick-borne disease, deer-vehicle accidents and the over-foraging of gardens and natural habitats. The deer density in Connecticut has changed dramatically in the last 50 years."

"Left untreated these diseases can and do result in permanent physical disabilities and even death. In Connecticut, those numbers for Lyme alone are 2-3,000 reported cases annually (estimates are that 90% of all cases go unreported). 96% of all Lyme occurs in 13 states, which includes Connecticut."

"It is the 6th most reported disease in the United States and the 2nd most reported in the Northeast."

"By contrast, West Nile which often arouses anxiety and a flurry of news coverage affected 21 persons state-wide last year."
