Tick Season Is Here And Worse Is Coming

Tick season is hitting record levels nationwide, with ER visits for tick bites at a ten-year high. States like Nebraska, Kansas, and Minnesota are seeing alarming spikes—nearly matching last year’s record. Experts warn it’s going to be a rough one. Stay protected: use DEET, wear long sleeves and pants, and treat clothes with permethrin. A Lyme vaccine is in development but won’t be a magic bullet—expect a three-shot series with yearly boosters. If you get bitten, monitor for rashes or flu-like symptoms and see a doctor ASAP. Don’t test the tick—CDC says it’s unreliable. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
