🌿 Ticks in Iowa = Instant Ick 😖

Spring is here, and unfortunately… so are ticks. Iowa is home to a few common ones like the American dog tick, deer tick (blacklegged tick), and lone star tick—and yes, they’re active anytime temps are above freezing.

🦠 What can they carry?
• Deer tick: Can cause Lyme disease (often starts with a bullseye rash, fever, body aches), plus other infections that feel like a bad flu
• Dog tick: Can cause illnesses with fever, rash, and headache (can feel like a sudden, pretty intense sickness)
• Lone star tick: Can cause fever/flu-like illness, and in some cases a red meat allergy (yep—beef/pork can suddenly make you sick)

As always, never hesitate to reach out! 🌸

⚡️Attention Bloom Family!⚡️

👀Looks like we are in for another round of severe weather this afternoon! Bloom wants to remind you to be weather aware and stay safe out there!

If your child needs an appointment today, please call early to assure they are seen before this crazy weather rolls in!🌪️

Another round of severe weather is possible this evening into tonight as another storm system moves through Iowa. Primary hazard will be damaging winds, but there remains some uncertainty on the coverage of severe weather, especially after 9PM.
