Episode Details

Summer’s here, and ticks are back with a vengeance—Clark County alone saw more tick reports this year than the past five years combined. These pests, including Western black-legged and dog ticks, aren’t just annoying—they carry Lyme disease and other serious illnesses. Climate change is pushing them westward, turning what was once an Eastern problem into a growing threat across the region. Stay safe by sticking to trail centers, wearing light-colored clothes, tucking pants into socks, and checking yourself, your pets, and your gear after outdoor time. Remove ticks carefully with tweezers and seek medical help if you develop fever, headache, or rash. Report your encounters to track their spread and protect your community.
