CNY Lyme and Tick-Borne Disease Alliance
The Alliance is a collaborative of providers, scientists and community members who support research, drive education and promote awareness to combat tick-borne diseases.
Ticks prefer warm, moist areas of the body, so a quick "spot check" isn't always enough. After spending time outdoors, make sure to do a thorough scan of these key areas:
Inside the belly button
In and around the hair and hairline
Around the waist
Between the legs and pelvic area
The back of the knees
Inside the elbows and under the arms
In and around the ears
Pro-tip: Throw your clothes in the dryer on high heat for 10 minutes when you get inside to kill any ticks that might be clinging to the fabric.
Stay safe, stay vigilant, and have a wonderful weekend! 🌲✨
