Safety Share: Tick Bites/Outdoor Hazards |
With field work and vacations ongoing, please be aware of the precautions to avoid tick bites, which can result in diseases. Different types of ticks can be found throughout the United States. According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the brown dog tick can be encountered in nearly every neck of the woods in the continental U.S. Some species and some life stages of ticks are so small that they can be difficult to see. A complete list of practical tips for avoiding tick bites during and after working in the field can be found at the CDC website, www.cdc.gov.
