I’m sending out this note to reinforce the information regarding ticks and Lyme disease. There have been reports that folks are encountering a large numbers of ticks while outdoors. News media has also picked up on this, and I’ve read that the experts attribute the high number of wood ticks and Lyme disease cases reported this year to Wisconsin’s large deer population. Lyme disease is the most frequently reported tick-borne illness in the United States according to CDC.
The best protection from ticks is to avoid areas where there are high numbers of ticks found. But if avoiding these areas is not an option, use clothing, insect repellent, and tick checks to prevent tick bites. Take a look at the Centers for Disease Control website below for more information.
