I'm hearing its a banner year for tics this year in Michigan and other areas of the country.
It’s that time of year again when we need to pay attention to ticks and their resulting tickborne diseases.
Ticks are usually seen in the spring and summer months and usually in woods or brushy areas. There are ways to prevent ticks from attaching to you such as avoiding those dense woodsy and brushy areas and using insect repellant containing DEET for skin and permethrin for clothing.
Regardless of the repellant you use and where you go, you should always check for ticks that have attached to your body every time you go inside from a day outdoors.
Even with preventative measures and tick checks, they can still manage to attach and cause health issues.
Here are six diseases carried by ticks and their symptoms to watch for.
