It’s Open Season on Ticks in Missouri

Tick Awareness Toolkit

 

The warm weather means tick season in Missouri! Use the toolkit resources to outfit your public health department with tickborne illness awareness materials. Ticks can transmit serious, and potentially fatal, illnesses. Many of these illnesses can be effectively treated if they are caught early.

This toolkit includes fact sheets, Facebook ads, and other useful free materials. These materials can help your community learn how to avoid tick bites, use repellent, do tick checks, recognize symptoms of tickborne illnesses, and know when to seek care from a medical professional.
