🕷️ Peak tick season in Delaware is here!
DPH @Delaware_DHSS & @DelawareDNREC are reminding everyone to take steps to protect themselves, their families, and pets from tick bites and the diseases they carry—like Lyme disease, ehrlichiosis, and Alpha-gal Syndrome (AGS).
🦠 In 2024, Delaware reported:
✔️ 344 Lyme disease cases
✔️ 100+ AGS cases (now a reportable illness)
✅ TICK SAFETY TIPS:
Wear long sleeves/pants & light-colored clothes
Use repellent (DEET, picaridin, or oil of lemon eucalyptus)
Stay on clear trails—avoid tall grass & leaf litter
Do tick checks after outdoor time: Ticks like to hide in warm, hidden areas, so inspect armpits, groins, and behind the knees.
Keep your yard tidy—mow, remove leaf piles, and add a gravel/wood chip barrier
If you find a tick: remove it promptly with tweezers, clean the area, and monitor for symptoms. Save the tick for ID if needed and report interactions at de.gov/ticks 🧴🧼
