Could you spot it? 🔎
Adult male and female deer ticks are active October though May, as long as the daytime temperature remains above freezing.
Our health educator found this adult male deer tick on her coat after going to her kid's soccer game! Ticks, especially deer ticks, are very common in our area, so making a tick check part of your daily routine can help prevent tick-borne disease, like Lyme disease.

The moment you step out of your vehicle, you become a pedestrian. 🚶‍➡️
