Information on Ticks

Tick season is upon us.  The weather has warmed and with that comes some unwelcome visitors.  With all of the rain we have had recently we are seeing a burst of plant growth and where there is tall grass there may be ticks.  Below are links to the Fairfax County Health Department's tick brochures with some useful information in how to help safeguard yourself or what to do if you do find a tick on yourself.
