Did you know that there are over 20 known tick species in Michigan? Most ticks live in forested and grassy areas where they wait to climb on a potential host when it brushes by them.

Once on a host, a tick typically climbs upward in search of a suitable site to attach and feed. Not all ticks carry diseases, but there are several species that are known to bite people and pets that might carry diseases.

You can help keep yourself and your pets safe by checking for ticks regularly after your outdoor adventures. You can also avoid ticks by staying on well-groomed trails and avoiding high grass, brush and fallen leaves. 🍂

Learn more about how to identify ticks and stay safe from them at Michigan.gov/mdhhs/safety-injury-prev/environmental-health/topics/mitracking/ticks.
