Episode Details

This summer’s tick surge is alarming experts nationwide—emergency room visits are up more than in six years, fueled by climate change pushing ticks into new areas. The lone star tick can trigger red meat allergies, while the Powassan virus threatens brain health with memory loss and seizures. Camps like Camp Edwards YMCA in Wisconsin are ramping up tick checks for kids, as more ticks are being found embedded in campers’ skin. Experts urge bug spray, long sleeves, and immediate tick removal with tweezers—if spotted within 24 hours, your risk of Lyme and other diseases drops dramatically. Stay vigilant, and check your whole body after every outdoor outing.
