I apologize if this is already out but:
PSA: Deer Tick Virus has been recorded at the highest level in the country in central Pa. 92% of the ticks sampled in one Clearfield county area in January 2022 were carrying DTV. Over 80% positive at Fisherman's Paradise in Centre county. It can be transferred to humans within 15 minutes of a tick bite versus 24 hours for Lyme disease. Treat clothes with Permethrin and treat skin with Picaridin.
Symptoms and treatment:
