Ticks

As tick season approaches, researchers warn about a potentially deadly virus found in ticks in New York State.

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...

As the weather gets warmer, people start spending more time outdoors. The problem is that ticks are outside too.

The founder of Lyme WNY says this season has the most amount of ticks she has ever seen.

Ticks are getting worse here and if you want info on them, there's a forum coming up that will educate you about them.

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!

Summer brings warm weather, sunshine, and outdoor fun.  But it also brings out the bugs!  Time to start checking your pets for ticks!

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...
