As you probably know, ticks have been very active this year! To help prevent the diseases they spread, today our tick and mosquito surveillance team placed three tick check stations:
đIndian Lake Dog Park (entrance)
đPheasant Branch Conservancy (Branch Street entrance)
đWarner Park (trail near the Rainbow shelter)
At these stations, youâll find:
â
Info about ticks that spread disease and what they look like
â
Tweezers to remove ticks
â
A jar to put removed ticks into
â
A QR code to our surveyâthis helps us know what ticks you saw and how you interacted with our station
We plan to move stations around throughout the summer to better understand tick activity. Check our website to learn where tick stations are: publichealthmdc.com/ticks
