Tick season is here, and your health and safety are important to us. Please exercise caution when spending time outdoors, especially in grassy or wooded areas where ticks are commonly found.

Key Tips to Remember:
• Do your best to avoid ticks by wearing long sleeves, tucking pants into socks, using insect repellent, and staying on clear paths.
• After outdoor activities, carefully check yourself, your children, and pets for ticks.
• If you find a tick attached to your skin, remove it as soon as possible.

For comprehensive information on tick prevention and what to do after a tick bite, please review the following CDC resources:
