🌤️ It’s Air Quality Awareness Week (May 4–8)!

Did you know the air quality can change day to day—and even hour to hour? From pollen to pollution, those changes can impact your health, especially for children, older adults, and anyone with asthma or other respiratory conditions.

Before you head outside, take a quick peek at the Air Quality Index (AQI) to see what’s in the air. You can check the latest AQI anytime on the Lenawee County Health Department website and plan your day with confidence: https://bit.ly/49iglte

A small check can make a big difference in how you breathe. 💙

😎 There’s something magical about a Lenawee County spring stretching into summer—blankets unfurled like tiny kingdoms, sunscreen that mostly got applied, and a cooler packed with hopeful ambition. But while your picnic might look like it belongs on a postcard, food safety is quietly doing quality control in the background.

Let’s keep your outdoor feast firmly in the “fond memories” category—not the “why does my stomach hate me?” category ➡️ https://bit.ly/493vUF9

Spring showers bring flooding water! If you have a well, flooding can be a problem.

Water can collect contaminants found on the ground as it pools. If your well is poorly constructed or maintained, these contaminants could end up in your drinking water.

Flood water can also carry debris that can damage the wellhead, allowing contaminants to enter your drinking water.

If flooding happens near your well, consider testing the water you drink for coliform bacteria, nitrate and nitrite. Learn about other times you should consider testing your well water at bit.ly/MiWellTesting. You can also call MDHHS Drinking Water Hotline 844-934-1315.

When the rain won’t quit, the trouble doesn’t always stay outside. A flooded basement can feel like a short-term headache… but it often leaves behind longer-term health risks that are easy to miss. From mold creeping into corners to unseen contamination on everyday surfaces, what lingers after the water recedes matters just as much as the flooding itself.

When a tick bites, it does not hurt. It will stay attached for several days as it swells up with blood.

An infected tick must be attached for 24+ hours before the Lyme disease bacterium can be transmitted in most cases. Avoiding tick bites and quickly removing ticks are the best ways to prevent infection!

We are once again participating in the annual Vector-Borne Disease Surveillance and Prevention Program in collaboration with the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS). As part of this ongoing public health initiative, we will collect and submit mosquito and tick monitoring data to MDHHS. This data will also be used locally to inform and protect the community from emerging vector-borne disease threats.

Spring is a great time to get your well inspected!

If flooding occurs around your well, it could impact the quality of your drinking water. You can protect your drinking water by being sure your well is in good working order.

Well systems should be inspected by a professional at least every 10 years. Making sure your well system is in good condition means safer water to drink!

Learn more well maintenance tips at bit.ly/MiWell. You can also call the MDHHS Drinking Water Hotline at 844-934-1315.
