 Well, ticks were out in full force earlier this spring and summer, but disease-carrying mosquitoes are now more of a problem. State Department of Health epidemiologist Elizabeth Schiffman says ticks start to lay low as temps get hot. Just less favorable for the kind of weather ticks like, so they'll kind of be laying low probably for the next couple months, and then they like to come out again kind of for one last hurrah in the fall. So, yeah, we've got a little reprieve from the ticks usually, but they will be back.
