Disease

When the spring and summer months hit in the United States, the words “Lyme disease” and “ticks” go hand in hand in the media.

This data is both surprising and heartbreaking.

Tick season is supposed to be especially bad this year, and those blood-sucking bugs are bringing diseases with them that could land us in the hospital.
