Tick Infested Habitat
Lyme disease has noting to do with little green fruits that make your mouth pucker.

Summer is a time for fun, relaxation, and playing outside.  But it’s important to keep your body safe from a nasty disease that most commonly occurs in the months of May to August – Lyme disease. Lyme disease is carried by deer ticks, who, unfortunately, also like to come out and play in the summertime. 

Learn what Lyme disease is and how you and your kids can avoid it without sacrificing your love for the outdoors.
