Avoiding The Bite: Tick Biology And Prevention Presentation

• Tuesday, July 1, 2025, 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM

Did you know a single tick bite can transmit more than one disease—and they’re not just a seasonal summer problem? With cases of Lyme and other tick-borne illnesses steadily rising, especially among children and outdoor-loving families, understanding tick behavior has never been more important. With warmer weather Central New Yorkers are headed into peak tick season. Ticks carry a variety of debilitating diseases for humans and our companion animals, and can be active at any time of year given the right conditions.

This is especially relevant to those that work outdoors in a professional capacity. The goal of this event is to raise awareness about the biology of ticks and effective measures to protect outdoor workers. Backed by research, participants will come away with a better understanding of how to adjust their behavior to reduce the chances of a bite. 

Syracuse City Parks will be hosting CCE Onondaga Tick Educator Harold Nugent during an orientation of new hires. This presentation is closed to the public, but if you are interested in a similair event please reach out to Harold at hn343@cornell.edu.
