IN ONE WEEK: We're taking part in the nationwide movement to Wear Orange and raise awareness for gun violence. The movement began after the shooting death of 15-year-old Hadiya Pendleton on a playground in Chicago. Her friends and family commemorated her life by wearing orange, the color hunters wear in the woods to protect themselves.

Get your orange ready and join us on Saturday, June 6.

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:
šŸ“ŒIndian Lake Dog Park (entrance)
šŸ“ŒPheasant Branch Conservancy (Branch Street entrance)
šŸ“ŒWarner Park (trail near the Rainbow shelter)

At these stations, youā€™ll find:
āœ…Info about ticks that spread disease and what they look like
āœ…Tweezers to remove ticks
āœ…A jar to put removed ticks into
āœ…A QR code to our surveyā€”this 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

If you take a pic with our stations, be sure to tag us at !
