Ingham County residents may receive phone calls asking for participation in the Behavior Risk Factor Surveillance System survey or BRFSS. Advantage Research is conducting the survey on behalf of the Ingham County Health Department.

The BRFSS is the nation’s largest health-related telephone survey and is conducted locally every three years. Questions on the survey ask about health behaviors and conditions as well as healthcare practices. Ingham County residents ages 18 years and older are randomly chosen to participate. Information collected from the survey cannot be connected back to any participant.

If you receive a call, please contribute your valuable information!

Tick season is here in Michigan!

As you enjoy the outdoors this spring and summer, take steps to protect yourself and your family from tick bites and tick-borne illnesses like Lyme disease.

• Use EPA-registered insect repellent
• Wear long sleeves and pants in wooded or grassy areas
• Check yourself, children, and pets for ticks after being outside
• Shower soon after outdoor activities
• Remove ticks promptly with fine-tipped tweezers

Ticks can be very small, so be sure to check hidden areas like behind the knees, around the waist, under the arms, and along the hairline.

If you develop a rash, fever, fatigue, or flu-like symptoms after a tick bite, contact your healthcare provider.
