May is Lyme Disease Awareness Month! Meet the “family” behind Lyme disease — the blacklegged tick.
Small in size but significant in impact, this tick species is known to transmit Lyme disease and is most often found in wooded, brushy, and grassy areas.
Did You Know?
Blacklegged ticks are now found in all 88 Ohio counties — and nearly 1 in 2 may carry disease-causing pathogens. With Lyme disease risk now comparable to parts of the Northeast, exposure in Ohio isn’t just a summer concern, as these ticks can be active year-round if temperatures are above freezing.
Protect yourself and your family:
• Use insect repellent when outdoors
• Wear long sleeves and pants in high-risk areas
• Check for ticks after spending time outside
• Shower soon after being outdoors when possible
Early detection matters. If you notice symptoms such as fever, fatigue, headache, or a bull’s-eye rash, contact your healthcare provider.
