Tick Bites Are on the Rise—Double Trouble!

Did you know ER visits for tick bites have doubled this year in Ohio? Mild winters mean more ticks are out and about, and they’re not just chilling in the woods—they’re in backyards, too! Docs say the trick is to check yourself (and your pets!) after being outside, especially in tall grass. Long sleeves, tall socks, and DEET are your new BFFs. If you find a tick, pull it out with tweezers—no twisting! Stay safe and keep an eye out for rashes or flu-like symptoms. #Health #BodyHealth #TickSeason
