In most of our region, the weather was fantastic last weekend. I hope that you and your family had a chance to get outside, get some fresh air, stretch a little and be active. Remember though, whether you’re camping, spending a late summer night by a fire or hiking in the mountains, there’s a good chance that, if you’re in Pennsylvania, you’re in tick country. Blacklegged ticks, or deer ticks, which can carry Lyme disease, can be found throughout the state primarily in wooded areas. Lyme disease, named for Lyme, Connecticut, is a tick-borne infectious illness that can affect the joints, heart and nervous system if it’s not treated early enough. When you return from being in or near a wooded area, it’s best to check for ticks within an hour or two.
