BE TICK AWARE!

🏕️ Ticks are a natural part of the environment. If you spend time outdoors you will encounter ticks.

🤒Ticks can carry diseases that make people and animals sick. These include Ehrlichiosis, Tularemia, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, and the red meat allergy, Alpha-Gal Syndrome.

🚫Take measures to prevent tick bites.

🚨Perform careful tick checks on yourself, children, and pets.

🩺Watch out for symptoms for 30 days after a tick bite. See your doctor right away if you develop fever, headache, rash, fatigue, or any symptoms suggestive of tickborne disease. Early treatment can prevent severe illness.
