The past couple of days you probably have been spending outside in Western New York, especially with the holiday and heat wave in place. Have you noticed more ticks than usual? There's a reason you're going to see more ticks than usual this year...
When Brad Paisley came out with his song "Ticks," lots of people laughed and thought it was funny. I did too...until the other night when I found one on myself!
We're all spending a lot more time outside now, and certainly have more skin showing. This summer especially, we should all be extra cautious when it comes to our (and our pets') exposure to ticks and other disease-carrying bugs.
Since we had such a mild WNY winter, more ticks were able to survive...
