Tick-borne Illnesses

The tick invasion is upon us (well actually, they have always been around, thus not much of an invasion)!!! Not only is it creepy to think that these blood thirsty insects are waiting in the brush for unsuspecting wanderers, but these creatures also carry some really nasty pathogens that can make us quite ill. I know, yet another thing to fret over, but in this episode we empower you with information to protect yourself from ticks; everything from where they like to hang out, what to wear, and the signs and symptoms of serious illness and when to seek medical attention. Enjoy (and please be safe)!
