It's upsetting but I think it bears repeating every spring that ticks can be smaller than the size of a poppy seed.
Yes, even microscopic ticks can carry disease.

Please always use prevention methods and if bitten, get treatment as soon as possible.

May is Lyme Disease Awareness Month 💚

At our clinic, we see firsthand how Lyme and other tick-borne illnesses can impact every aspect of a person’s life—often in ways that aren’t immediately visible.

Lyme disease is frequently misunderstood:
• Not everyone develops a bullseye rash
• Early symptoms can feel like the flu—fatigue, fever, headaches, joint pain
• Testing isn’t always reliable in the early stages
• Ticks can carry multiple infections, not just Lyme

If you’re spending time outdoors this season, remember to protect yourself:
✔️ Use tick repellent
✔️ Wear long sleeves and light-colored clothing
✔️ Check for ticks after being outside
✔️ Remove ticks promptly and shower after outdoor exposure

If something doesn’t feel right, trust your instincts and seek care. Early recognition matters.

To those navigating Lyme disease—especially if you’ve struggled to be heard or diagnosed—you are not alone. We’re here to listen, to treat, and to walk alongside you every step of the way.

Symptoms can take time to appear and may include fever, cough, nausea, and more—and without prompt treatment, it can become life-threatening.

If you’ve been bitten by a tick or feel off after time outdoors, don’t ignore it. Early care matters.
