Tick Alert for Ohio!
If you've spent any time outdoors this spring, you've probably noticed—ticks are everywhere this year. Ohio is experiencing a surge in tick activity, and with it comes a rise in tick-borne illnesses like Lyme disease.
Here are some eye-opening statistics:
• Emergency room visits for tick bites were up more than 25% this April compared to last year
• Ohio Lyme disease cases skyrocketed nearly 1,000%—from just 40 cases in 2010 to over 2,800 in 2025
• Around half of Ohio ticks now carry Lyme disease
Prevention and early detection are key!
