It's Tick Season!

/

Ticks may be small, but they can carry serious diseases like Lyme disease. As we spend more time outdoors, it’s important to take simple steps to protect yourself, your family, and your pets.

✅ Use EPA-registered insect repellent
✅ Wear long sleeves and pants when in wooded or grassy areas
✅ Check yourself, children, and pets for ticks after being outside
✅ Shower soon after coming indoors
✅ Remove ticks promptly and properly

Don’t let ticks ruin your time outside — prevention is key!

Stay tick smart, Hudson!
