Although May was Tick Borne Disease Awareness Month, tick season is still upon us.

Pennsylvania is one of the leading states in Lyme Disease cases (over 18,000 confirmed cases in 2025).

Prevention is KEY!

Wear light colored long pants and long sleeve shirts, use an approved insect repellent (DEET, picaridin, IR3535, Oil of Lemon Eucalyptus (OLE), para-menthane-diol (PMD), or 2-undecanone), and do tick checks when you come back inside. If you find a tick on you, remove it by gently holding near the head with a pair of tweezer and lift it off until it lets go.

Speak with your doctor about possible prophylaxis for lyme disease if you are in a lyme-endemic region and removed and engorged deer or pacific black legged tick within the past 72 hours.

DEA National RX Take Back Day
Drug Take Back
Saturday, April 22, 2023, from 10:00am to 2:00pm

Too often, unused prescription drugs find their way into the wrong hands. That's dangerous and often tragic. That's why it was great to see thousands of folks from across the country clean out their medicine cabinets and turn in - safely and anonymously - a record amount of prescription drugs.

DEA would like you to know about the opportunity to dispose of unwanted, unused medications on Saturday, April 22, 2023, from 10am-2pm.
