🍂Ticks are still out there-- Here's how to stay safe🕷️

Crisp autumn walks, pumpkin patches, and leaf piles are some of the best parts of fall—but ticks are still active this season. These tiny pests can carry Lyme disease and other tick-borne illnesses, so it’s important to stay vigilant.

✅ Fall Tick Safety Tips:
• Wear long sleeves and pants when hiking or playing in wooded areas
• Use EPA-approved insect repellent
• Check yourself, kids, and pets for ticks after outdoor fun
• Remove ticks promptly and correctly
