Mondays with Martha #266 - Tick Identification in Michigan

Since May is Lyme Disease Awareness Month, this week's post focuses on how to identify ticks in Michigan, how their life history and ecology may impact when you see them at different life stages, and how to safely remove them. Below are additional resources to help educate yourself, family, and friends about Lyme disease and other tick-borne diseases. Don't be afraid to get outside--just be aware and safe! Special thanks to Belinda Kisting for sharing her tick knowledge with us!
