Summer isn’t just BBQ season—it’s also prime time for bugs and critters that carry disease. 🦟

From West Nile & Zika (mosquitos) to Lyme disease (ticks) and even rabies (wild animals), vector-borne illnesses are no joke. Let’s not forget the plague (fleas), hantavirus (rodents), and raccoon roundworm. Oh my!

This is a friendly reminder to stay safe and learn how to protect yourself this season at https://bit.ly/3TRFser
