Fall is the time for cozy sweaters, pumpkin spice everything and corn mazes. It’s also the time of year when college football tailgating and Oktoberfest events dominate your social calendar.

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

Let's do what we can and show our support for a Boise family experiencing a devastating tragedy...

Since March 2020, a daily death count has been a routine part of the nightly newscast.

At least we're not at West Virginia numbers!

Here we go again? The plot thickened Tuesday when Boise Mayor, Lauren McLean, announced new COVID-19 policies for events this fall, and it felt a little like 2020 might be happening all over again. But this is why it won't.

It's true that stress can give us gray hair, and there are three big things in Boise causing it. The good news is, if we can get a grip, it can be reversed.

In extreme heat like the Treasure Valley is seeing this week, it's shocking how quickly your body can go from the normal 98.6-degree range to a heat stroke range of 106. There are cooling shelters opening around Boise that could be lifesavers.

We've heard a lot about people walking around "asymptomatic" with COVID in the past year, and it turns out that can happen with West Nile too. Hundreds of Idahons will likely have the West Nile virus this summer and not even know it.

This weekend is going to be a scorcher and it's going to feel like the sun is burning a hole right through us, and maybe it is. You won't believe how high Idaho ranks when it comes to skin cancer risk.
