A RESOLUTION supporting increased awareness of tick-borne diseases and illnesses in Kentucky.

This symbolic resolution (SR 32) supports increased public awareness of tick-borne diseases like Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, and Alpha-gal syndrome (AGS) in Kentucky. It directs the Kentucky Department of Agriculture, Fish and Wildlife Resources, and Public Health to promote prevention, detection, and education about these illnesses. The resolution highlights rising risks from ticks, including lifelong symptoms and diagnostic challenges faced by healthcare providers. It does not create new laws or funding but encourages state agencies to improve public education on prevention and early intervention.
