Tick Season Is Shaping Up to Be a Rough One This Year
If you've been spending time outdoors lately, it's time to start paying attention to ticks. After the long stretch of snow we had this winter, many people assume tick populations would be lower. Unfortunately, the opposite may be true.
A thick blanket of snow can actually insulate ticks from extreme cold temperatures, helping more of them survive through the winter and emerge hungry this spring. Combined with warming temperatures and abundant wildlife hosts, experts are expecting another active tick season across our area.
Ticks are not just a nuisance. They can transmit serious diseases to both people and pets, including:
• Lyme Disease
• Anaplasmosis
• Babesiosis
• Ehrlichiosis
• Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever
• Powassan Virus
One growing concern is Alpha gal Syndrome, a potentially life changing condition linked to bites from the Lone Star Tick. Alpha gal can trigger an allergic reaction to red meat and other mammal derived products, causing symptoms that range from digestive issues to severe allergic reactions. Cases have been increasing throughout the region, making tick prevention more important than ever.
