Tick Education Program - Plymouth County Extension 9am-3:30pm - Indoor Range Closed 2-3:30pm

Hate ticks? Not only are ticks creepy, but the bite of a tick can transmit life-altering diseases. Don’t wait for ticks to bite! Arm yourself with knowledge and stand up to them! Studies have proven that people who are taught the proper tools and techniques drastically reduce their risks of contracting any tick-borne disease. With the right knowledge and tools, all tick-borne diseases are preventable.

Come join our workshop! Together, we will review basic tick biology, scientifically proven protection methods, and bust any commonly held myths. Blake will be available at the club from 9-3:30 on Saturday October 6. 

Anyone can stop by and have their shoes and socks treated with a compound known as permethrin. There will be tables and posters set up for people to read. At 2pm, Blake will run an indoor classroom-style workshop where he will review all of the science behind these protection methods.
