One thing about ticks seems certain: They aren’t going anywhere. The good news is that with the right knowledge and a few safety precautions, you can continue to enjoy the outdoors safely.
During this presentation, Dr. Vincent Deslandes will raise awareness about ticks, the diseases they can transmit and how to protect yourself. He will also discuss other illnesses associated with natural environments and offer a broad perspective on health and the environment.
