Why Everyone’s Talking About Tick Bites

Tick bites are sending more people to the ER than we’ve seen in years—especially in the Northeast! Blame record-high tick populations, longer tick seasons, and climate change making winters milder. Ticks aren’t just a summer thing anymore; they’re active year-round and spreading all sorts of nasty illnesses like Lyme disease and even Powassan virus. Experts say the best defense is wearing long sleeves, using repellent, and doing thorough tick checks (don’t forget those hidden spots!). Stay safe out there! #Health #BodyHealth #TickSeason
