While every season is tick season, we will see a much larger population this spring and summer due to weather conditions making them hungry and very active.
Out of 5,000 ticks sampled from across New York last year, nearly one-third were carrying Lyme disease. Here's a list of the most likely places they could be on your body.
Central New Yorkers are used to being wary of deer ticks and the potential for Lyme disease, but now a new tick has been found here, and it comes with whole new risks.
In spite of the erratic weather, ticks are out in full force in Central New York - and the mild winter has led to a more severe season than usual, according to experts.
We are all trying to practice social distancing and also get out and get fresh air. The New York State Department of Health (NYDOH) is warning that ticks are out and to find ways to protect yourself.
