Tick Boom in D.C. Area

Ticks are exploding across the D.C. area thanks to hot, humid weather and abundant deer—creating a perfect breeding ground. One female tick can lay thousands of eggs, and their range is spreading north with climate change. You might find ticks in one park and none in the next, so vigilance is key—even a quick trip outside can land you a hitchhiker. Experts say ticks are most active on hot, humid, dry days, so cover up with long pants, tuck socks in, and check yourself thoroughly after any outdoor time. It’s a hassle, but it’s the smart move to avoid bites and the risks they carry. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
