ticks

As we step into spring, the prairies are waking up, but so are some tiny pests that love the outdoors just as much as we do.

Picture this: you’re enjoying some time with a pup, and then—ticks! It’s a wake-up call about the hidden dangers lurking in our backyards.

Nope, they're terrible. Considering ticks and mosquitoes...you may be justified in asking- what was God thinking?

If you have pets, you already know the warmer weather is a welcomed season, but it also means the beginning of ticks, fleas and mosquitos.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — The North Dakota Department of Health says outdoor enthusiasts should take some precautions before tick season this year.
