Episode Details

Ticks are on the rise, with 2026 potentially being a challenging year for bites, particularly in the Northeast. These parasites can transmit diseases like Lyme, alpha-gal syndrome, and Rocky Mountain spotted fever, causing symptoms such as fever, chills, aches, and rashes. Ticks spread diseases by feeding on blood and transferring pathogens. Common tick species in Tennessee include the lone star tick, American dog tick, and black-legged tick. Stay alert, especially outdoors, and check for ticks after spending time in tick-prone areas.
