May is Lyme Disease Awareness Month in Massachusetts. The Vineyard Haven Library's reference librarian can help you locate information on Lyme and other health topics using MedlinePlus (medlineplus.gov). MedlinePlus is a service of the NIH & National Library of Medicine, and is a safe and reliable source. The information is science-based and no advertisements are allowed.
