The Central Michigan District Health Department has issued a warning about an increase in ticks in the area due to mild winter and spring weather conditions. That raises concerns about the transmission of diseases such as Lyme Disease. They’re advising everyone to take precautions… Preventative measures include avoiding tick habitats, using repellents, and conducting regular tick inspections on yourself and your pets. Prompt removal of ticks and consultation with a physician or veterinarian if symptoms develop are emphasized.
