Be vigilant of ticks and mosquitoes

With the weather expected to rise over the next couple weeks, the tick and mosquito population may surge. Tammy Carlsrud of Norman Mahnomen Public Health reminds us to be vigilant of ticks and mosquitoes. 

People are also encouraged to be on the lookout for Lymes Disease after a tick bite. Some symptoms of Lymes Disease include a bullseye shaped rash around a bite area, fatigue, fever, and headaches. If you are showing symptoms of Lymes Disease talk to a doctor immediately.
