May 2023: Greetings from the Wellesley Health Department!

Welcome Spring! With the beautiful weather comes the critters-be sure to check out our website for information on dealing with ticks and mosquitos to prevent illnesses like EEE and Lyme. The FDA also has some great resources-check them out HERE.

It's also allergy season. If you or your family is allergy prone, there are steps you can take to lessen exposure to environmental allergens and reduce symptoms.

As always, please reach out to us with questions or suggestions for how we can better serve you by emailing us at health@wellesleyma.gov. We love to hear from you!
