Don't let a great day outdoors turn into a health headache later. Even if you’re just hanging out in your own backyard, it’s important to do a "tick check" as soon as you head inside. Ticks love to hide where it’s warm. Make sure to check in these key spots:
- Along the hairline
- Under the arms
- Inside the belly button
- Back of the knees
To learn more about ticks and the diseases they can carry, visit www.health.ny.gov/diseases/communicable/lyme/

Public Health will be hosting Climate and Health workshops this week at the Grand Gorge, Sidney, and Walton senior dining centers!

Participants will learn how changes to the climate can impact their health, practical steps to reduce these risks, and ways to prepare for emergencies. Understanding the health effects of a changing climate helps communities stay calm, make informed decisions, and recover more quickly during extreme weather events or other climate‑related challenges.

These workshops are free to attend and open to residents 60 years and older. Workshops will take place during the senior dining hour from 11:30 AM – 12:30 PM, and each participant will receive a free starter emergency preparedness kit, while supplies last.

Visit us at the senior dining centers this week on the dates listed below:
Grand Gorge Civic Center, 60933 NY-30, Grand Gorge: Wednesday, April 22
Sidney Civic Center Room #102, 21 Liberty Street, Sidney: Thursday, April 23
St. John’s Roman Catholic Church, 25 Benton Avenue, Walton: Friday, April 24

Ticks can carry Lyme and other illnesses, so knowing how to remove one safely is key. If you find a tick, use pointed tweezers to grasp it by the head or mouthparts—as close to the skin as possible. Pull upward with steady, even pressure without twisting or jerking. Once removed, thoroughly clean the bite area with rubbing alcohol or soap and water.
