May is peak tick season in Indiana, making prevention especially important as you head outdoors. Take a few simple steps to protect yourself: Use EPA-registered insect repellent, wear long sleeves and pants in wooded or grassy areas, and check yourself, children, and pets for ticks after spending time outside. Preventing tick bites helps reduce the risk of tickborne illness. Learn more from @StateHealthIN: bit.ly/4nASLxO
