Stay Healthy this Tick Season!
April to September is when ticks are usually active in Michigan. Ticks can be active when outdoor temperatures are at least 40°F. With warming temperatures, ticks are out and active longer. Ticks can carry diseases like Lyme disease, so knowing when they are active is important for health.
When a tick bites, it does not hurt. It will stay attached for several days as it swells up with blood. An infected tick must be attached for 24+ hours before the Lyme disease bacterium can be transmitted in most cases. Avoiding tick bites and quickly removing ticks are the best ways to prevent infection!

“Most tick bites can’t cause illness unless the tick is attached for longer than 24 hours. Get into the habit of checking your entire body every night, including in your hair and under your clothes since ticks like to crawl up under them. Look and feel carefully for ticks and remove any you find to prevent getting infections.”
-Dr. Jennifer Morse, MD, MPH, FAAFP
MMDHD Medical Director
After being outside, here are some tips to prevent tick bites:
Remove ticks from your clothes, and wear light colored clothing to make ticks easier to see.
Performing “tick checks” on humans and pets after being outdoors, even in your own yard.
Showering soon after coming inside.
Placing clothes in a dryer on high heat for at least 10 minutes to kill ticks you might have missed.
Pets can also get Lyme disease if bitten by an infected tick. The best way to stop ticks from biting your pets is to use flea and tick preventives and check them regularly for ticks. Talk to your vet about tick bite prevention products.
