Avoiding The Bite: Tick Biology And Prevention Presentation
- Tuesday, July 15, 2025, 2:00 PM - 3:30 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.
Because there is no sure-fire strategy to avoid ticks, the Northern Onondaga Public Library (NOPL) and Cornell Cooperative Extension of Onondaga County (CCE Onondaga) are presenting a free, interactive presentation in Mid-July to raise awareness about the biology of ticks and effective measures to protect yourself and your property. Backed by research, participants will come away with a better understanding of how to adjust their behavior to reduce the chances of a bite.
The workshop will be hosted by the NOPL at the Northern Onondaga Public Library in Cicero. There will be an opportunity to ask questions of CCE Onondaga Tick Educator Harold Nugent following his presentation.
