Tick Protection & Lyme Disease Prevention

Year-Round Gardening host Tom Butzler standing next to an enlarged image of a tick.

Ticks that spread disease are growing geographically and in population. While only two types spread Lyme disease, they’re abundant and can be difficult to avoid. And Lyme isn’t the only disease to worry about. This episode of Year-Round Gardening gives a quick primer on the types of ticks, and most importantly how to minimize your risk of exposure in the woods and in your own yard.
