Tick Tips

May 24, 2023: Episode 72

Thank you to the Veterinary Referral Center of Central Oregon for sharing this information about ticks.

VRCCO: "Ticks have been making the news a lot this spring. Luckily for us, the ticks making the headlines aren't fans of Bend. The biggest threat associated with these microscopic insects is Lyme Disease. Fortunately, we don't have to worry about this in Deschutes County but these ticks can be found in popular summer destinations around the state. Check out this localized tick information before you head out to enjoy the warmer weather this spring."
