Tick increase underway in Michigan
LANSING, Mich. – People should be on the lookout for ticks.
Pests.org said Michiganders are seeing more ticks than normal this year.
Experts say changing weather may have something to do with the tick overload.
Milder winters bring a longer growing season, allowing ticks more time to find a host and then lay eggs.
Expert entomologists at Michigan State University say to protect yourself by checking for ticks on your pets and checking your skin and clothes for ticks after spending time outdoors.
