Whether you’re a gardener, hiker, pet owner, or simply enjoy spending time outdoors, ticks are a growing concern—and knowing how to prevent tick bites and recognize tick-borne illnesses is essential.
Please join us virtually on the evening of Tuesday, July 22 as we welcome Dr. Risa Pesapane for her program Bite-Sized Science: All About Ticks and How to Stay Safe. Dr. Pesapane will cover basic tick biology, seasonal activity, the distribution of common Ohio species and their associated pathogens, current case data, how to protect against tick bites in people and pets, and what to do if you’re bitten.
This webinar will be recorded. A link to watch the program will be sent to all registrants a few days following the event.
