❄️ Think ticks disappear in winter? Think again!
With today being an unusually warm December day here in Central New York, it’s a good reminder that ticks do not die off once winter begins.
Adult deer ticks don’t hibernate. When temperatures rise above freezing — even briefly — ticks can become active and seek a host. They survive cold months by sheltering under leaf litter or snow and can emerge when conditions allow, which means tick encounters are possible year-round.
As long as temperatures climb above freezing, it’s still important to:
✔️ Do tick checks after outdoor activities
✔️ Check kids and pets
✔️ Stay aware, even in winter
Awareness doesn’t stop when the seasons change — and neither do ticks. 💚

Lyme disease doesn’t look the same for everyone. 💚
While it’s often grouped into these three stages, symptoms can overlap, appear differently, or never follow a textbook timeline. This post highlights common symptoms seen at each stage — especially those people should be aware of — but it’s far from a complete list.
Late disseminated Lyme, in particular, can present with a wide range of symptoms. Staying informed helps people recognize changes early and advocate for their health!
