New Tick Alert: Backyard Danger?

Did you hear about the rabbit ticks in Maine carrying a new bacteria linked to life-threatening spotted fever? Scientists found these ticks right in someone’s backyard, and now they’re popping up all over the state. Even though rabbit ticks don’t usually bite people, there’s a chance other ticks could spread this bacteria to us. With ticks moving into new areas thanks to warmer weather, it’s time to get serious about bug bite prevention! #PublicHealth #Ticks #SpottedFever #Health
