Show Notes
Connecticuts snowy winter boosted tick populations, posing year-round risks. Ticks can survive freezing temperatures, with only minor die-offs in extreme cold. Despite the cold, ticks were found as early as February. As warmer days approach, more people will be exposed, with summer being the peak season for Lyme disease cases. Researchers anticipate higher tick activity due to no significant cold-related drops. If you find a tick, contact your local health department for testing.
