An educational infographic by Rainbow Tails Dog Walks & Pet Care titled "Don't Panic about pest prevention!" The graphic features a map of Michigan showing high risk for Lyme disease across most counties. It includes three key facts: ticks become active in temperatures above 32°F, they hide under snow and leaf litter for insulation, and they can survive freezing temperatures as low as -7°F. A section on "home tick checks" lists areas to pay special attention to on pets: around the collar/neck, under arms/across the belly, between the toes, tail base, ears and around eyes, and lips/chin area. The bottom text advises contacting a veterinarian for specific parasite prevention recommendations.

Ticks don’t take seasons off, and monthly veterinary-prescribed prevention is best when it‘s given consistently to reduce the chance of bringing hitchhikers home. Check out this helpful graphic for more tips to keep your pet tick-free!

Why I wear short shorts in a forest: Today, a brief detour off the main path proved it. Found multiple ticks climbing my legs. Wearing shorts allows me to spot them instantly against my skin and remove them before they can find a spot to bite. 🐾🛡️🌿 #TickPrevention #TickCheck #TickSeason #HikeSafe

Communication Strategies for Tick-Borne Disease Prevention Among US Cattle Producers: Quasi-Experimental Study on Message Framing and Source Credibility Background: Haemaphysalis longicornis (Asian longhorned tick) presents a growing threat to cattle health in the United States, causing anemia, weight loss, and even death. Despite the expanding range of this tick and the urgency of preventive action, effective communication strategies tailored to agricultural audiences, especially cattle producers, remain underexplored. Social media offers a scalable tool for risk communication, but its efficacy in this demographic and disease context is unclear. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of different digital communication strategies—specifically social media message framing and source credibility—in influencing U.S. cattle producers’ engagement, risk perceptions, and adoption of tick-borne disease preventive behaviors. Methods: A quasi-experimental study using a 2×3 factorial design was conducted with 116 cattle producers in the Southeastern U.S. Participants were randomly assigned to view simulated Facebook posts varying by message source (Extension agent vs. cattle producer) and message framing (prevention-oriented, fear-based, neutral). Participants reported their likelihood of engaging with the post (emoji reaction, commenting, sharing), their perceptions (fear, attitudes), and their intention to adopt preventive behaviors. Data were analyzed using ANOVA and Pearson correlations. Results: Participants were more likely to engage with posts through emoji reactions than by commenting or sharing. Posts from cattle producers, particularly those using prevention-oriented or fear-based framing, elicited higher engagement than neutral messages. Prevention-oriented messages consistently evoked greater concern about tick risks and more proactive attitudes toward management. While fear-based posts were viewed as exaggerated and less credible, neutral messages from Extension agents were unexpectedly effective in prompting certain preventive behaviors. Social engagement was moderately correlated with attitudes (r = 0.54–0.72) and preventive actions, with attitudes showing stronger associations with behavioral intent than fear. Conclusions: Carefully framed, prevention-oriented messages, especially when shared by credible sources, are more effective than fear-based or neutral content in promoting engagement and tick prevention behavior among cattle producers. This study provides empirical support for tailoring digital communication strategies to agricultural populations and contributes to the design of effective social media interventions for vector-borne disease prevention.

Green background with illustrations and a photo of ticks. There's a patch of grass at the bottom of the graphic. Text reads, "What to do if you find a tick. Remove the tick as soon as possible. Consider saving the tick in a sealed bag for identification. Use fine-tipped tweezers to grip the tick close to the skin. Pull straight out with steady, gentle pressure. Don't twist or squeeze. Do not use oils, heat, or chemicals to remove the tick." The Boston Public Health Commission logo is at the bottom.

Summer means sunshine, hikes, and outdoor fun. But don’t forget about ticks! Not all ticks carry disease, but some do, so it’s important to: prevent bites, remove them safely, and talk to a healthcare provider if you get a rash or fever days or even weeks later.
