Tiny ticks in tape!
WHEN: THURSDAY, April 1 AT 6:00PM
WHERE: ZOOM - A LINK WILL BE SENT FOLLOWING REGISTRATION BELOW.
Are ticks different sizes at different times of year? What types of bug spray provide the best protection against ticks? How many different types of diseases can ticks carry? What should you do if you find a tick on you? How is Lyme disease treated?
You have the chance to join Dr. Nananda Col for a conversation about ticks and find out the answers to these questions and more.
Dr. Col has firsthand experience with ticks after catching two tick-borne diseases due to not taking tick precautions while mushroom foraging. Now, she shares presentations with local groups about things people can do to protect themselves from ticks and tick-borne diseases. Nananda is also part of a group of Georgetown citizens working together to identify ways to control tick populations on the island.
