With warmer weather upon us, Minnesota’s 2026 tick season is well underway and off to a historically fast start, with emergency room visits reaching some of their highest levels since 2017. Health experts warn that nymphal deer ticks—which are as small as poppy seeds—will have an increased prevalence of Lyme disease this year.

⏰Key Tick Activity & Timeline Active Now: Deer (black-legged) ticks emerge anytime temperatures are above freezing and have been actively biting across the Twin Cities and statewide since early March.

Some helpful tips to consider when outdoors and to prevent tick bites:
✅ Try to walk in the middle of paths.
✅ Wear light-colored clothing treated with the insecticide permethrin. Use Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)-registered insect repellents.

⚠️If you do find a tick, remove it immediately.
🏥Seek medical help if you suspect the tick has been on you for days or if you develop a rash or other symptoms.

As we wrap up our final week of Mental Health awareness month, it's important to remember that talking with others can help saves lives!

Just like during pregnancy, eating healthy and nutrient-dense foods while breastfeeding or pumping is important! WIC offers specialized food packages for parents who are breastfeeding or combo-feeding their child up to 12 months old. 🥗🥑🍳

Your local WIC clinic may also provide breastfeeding and pumping supplies, and many parents can access free lactation support from peer counselors and International Board-Certified Lactation Consultants (IBCLCs).

Iodine is an essential mineral during all stages of life! ❤️ Iodine supports the thyroid by producing hormones necessary to regulate metabolism, heart rate, and body temperature. 🌡️ Iodine is also important during pregnancy! Regular iodine intake helps form the cerebral cortex, neural pathways, and hippocampus, helping your baby’s cognitive development! 🧠

The body cannot store iodine for long periods of time, so try to incorporate iodine regularly into your diet! Dairy, seaweed, and seafood are all plentiful sources of iodine. 🐟
