Experts are warning that this could be one of the WORST years for ticks and Lyme disease weโve seen in a while.
Doctors and the CDC are already seeing unusually high numbers of tick bites this season.
Warmer winters and wetter conditions are helping ticks survive and spread into more areas.
And itโs not just Lyme disease anymore.
Ticks can also carry illnesses like Rocky Mountain spotted fever, babesiosis, and even alpha-gal syndrome โ the condition that can trigger an allergy to red meat.
The scary part? Tick bites are often painless, so many people donโt even realize theyโve been bitten.
If youโre hiking, gardening, or spending time outdoors this spring and summer, wear repellent, check yourself and your pets, and donโt ignore symptoms like fever, fatigue, or rashes after a bite.
Staying aware now can prevent major health problems later.
