Dr. Timothy McDermott of Ohio State University Extension warns that Ohio’s tick population and the diseases they carry, including Lyme disease, have increased rapidly over the past 13 years and have raised concerns for families and agriculture statewide, with Lyme cases in Tuscarawas County rising 44% this year. He advises residents to follow a personal tick safety plan by using treated clothing, repellents, and thorough tick checks after spending time outdoors (these precautions also protect pets and livestock).
