Southeastern Massachusetts is one of the highest-risk areas in the country for ticks and Lyme disease. If your family spends time outdoors this summer, a few habits and the right yard protection make a big difference.
Where Ticks Hide
Ticks wait in tall grass, leaf litter, and the shaded edges where your lawn meets the woods. Stone walls and brushy borders are classic tick zones on the South Coast.
Protecting Your Family
Wear light clothing, use repellent, and do tick checks after time outside, especially behind knees, the hairline, and waistband. For pets, talk to your vet about tick prevention.
