Episode Synopsis
More than 31 million people in the United States get bitten by ticks each year, and some of those ticks carry diseases such as Lyme disease, according to the CDC. In this episode of Life Kit, we cover where you might encounter ticks this summer, how to protect yourself against them and what to do if you get bitten. A previous version of this episode incorrectly called ticks insects. They are arachnids, which are not insects.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
