PUBLIC HEALTH HIGHLIGHTS
CDC Data Show Weekly ER Visits for Tick Bites Higher than Usual
Quote attributable to: Alison Hinckley, PhD, epidemiologist and Lyme disease expert with CDC's Division of Vector-Borne Diseases
"Tick season is here and these tiny biters can make you seriously sick. The good news is you have options to help prevent tick bites when you spend time outdoors: You can wear EPA-registered insect repellent and permethrin-treated clothing, do tick checks, and remove attached ticks as quickly as possible. These simple steps can go a long way in protecting you and your family from diseases spread by ticks. And if you develop a rash or fever in the days to weeks after a bite, or after being in an area with ticks, seek medical care promptly

Walking is simple, cost effective form of exercise, for all stages of life, that provides numerous health benefits such as improved heart health, reduced stress and anxiety, strengthens muscles, better sleep, increased energy and supports health weight management. You can get involved by heading outdoors and taking a walk on your own. Whether it’s around your neighborhood, at a local park, or on your favorite trail, every step counts toward a healthier community
