Heading Outdoors? Beware of Tick Bites

Indiana health officials are urging Hoosiers to protect themselves and their pets from tick bites as ticks are active from early spring through late fall.
A fatal case of ehrlichiosis in Floyd County has already been reported this month.
Indiana reported two ehrlichiosis deaths last year.
In addition to ehrlichiosis, Hoosiers are at risk for several other potentially severe tick-borne diseases including Lyme disease, the most common tick-borne disease in Indiana.
