Tick and Mosquito Bites Can Be Dangerous | Dover News

Summer fun comes with a hidden risk: tiny bugs that can carry serious diseases like West Nile or Lyme. Many people ignore tick bites, but nearly 10% get bitten yearly—and two-thirds of adults don’t even check for ticks afterward. Symptoms can be subtle or mimic each other, so know the red flags: trouble breathing, swelling, fever, or severe headache. Prevention is key—wear long sleeves, use EPA-approved bug spray, and inspect yourself after outdoor adventures. Eliminate standing water and fix screens to fight mosquitoes. Stay safe this summer, because a little prep can turn an itch into a healthy memory. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
