Hoosiers encouraged to protect themselves from ticks
May 7—INDIANAPOLIS — Indiana health officials are urging Hoosiers to protect themselves from tick bites during and after spending time outdoors as warmer weather increases tick activity.
"We are all ready to enjoy the outdoors again after being inside over much of the winter," said State Public Health Veterinarian Jennifer Brown, D.V.M., M.P.H. "We ask Hoosiers to take precautions so we don't see a bump in tick-borne illnesses, which are preventable."
