#frantick from the WCSU @ticklab and @wcsubiology spreading awareness about blacklegged ticks today at the @westconn health fair! @WestconnRec

Many people in the Northeast encounter #ticks in their own yards! If you find one, you can get it tested through your local CT health department.

What’s more fearsome than a bloodsucking tick? Plus look at those moves! #WestConnTicks #FranTick #NewMascot #ByeChuck

Did you know...blacklegged ticks are especially at home in backyards that have forested edges? Practice tick bite prevention every time you head outside. #hottip #homesweethome #ticks

@tickbrittany is at it again! Check our our latest tick bite prevention infographic...especially for those heading outdoors while avoiding #COVID19 #ticks #hottip

Our @tickbrittany put some adult blacklegged ticks on white and black shirts to show folks how hard it is to detect ticks on dark clothing. She made a cool video too, which you can check out on our lab FB page: facebook.com/TickLab/ #hottip #ticks #Lymeprevention #tickfashion

Treat clothes with permethrin before clearing/playing in the leaves this fall. It repels #ticks and stays on clothes after several washings...so you can wear your tick-repellent #permethrin clothing all season long. Prevents bites too, like in this study: bit.ly/2q9p1iQ

Use your dryer at home to kill blacklegged ticks! After spending time outdoors, put your clothing directly into the dryer on high heat for 10 minutes! The high heat causes ticks to dry out and die. How do we know? The science says so! bit.ly/2BY9bdz

Showering or bathing within 2 hours after being outdoors can prevent #Lyme disease. It gives you time to do a thorough #tick check and the water may wash off any unattached ticks. See the #science behind this tip: bit.ly/2BT9A0Q
