William Vasquez+FollowWhy Everyone’s Talking About Tick BitesTick 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 #TickSeason62Share
William Vasquez+FollowTick 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 #TickSeason100Share

Babesiosis and Anaplasmosis (yeah, new names to worry about) are popping up alongside Lyme, and there’s no vaccine for any of them. Ticks can even spread multiple diseases in one bite! Best move: cover up, check yourself (and your pets!) after being outside, and maybe rethink that summer hike. Anyone else suddenly itchy? #TickSeason #LymeDisease #PetSafety #Health #BodyHealth50Share
