Something is happening with ticks right now, and farmers are starting to talk.

I am hearing directly from farmers in the Midwest about unusual tick activity in their fields. Reports of boxes of ticks being found. Reports of ticks being seen in ways that feel out of the ordinary.

At the same time, we are seeing a very real increase in tick populations across our region. Longer seasons. More exposure. More aggressive environments.

And in my practice, I am seeing the impact.

More Lyme
More chronic symptoms
More alpha gal

As someone who has personally walked through Lyme, this is not something I take lightly. And it is not something I am willing to ignore.

Whether every single report has an explanation yet or not, one thing is clear. Ticks are increasing. Exposure is increasing. And so are the health challenges that come with it.

This is not about fear. This is about awareness.

If you live on land, have animals, or spend time outdoors, this matters more than you think.
