The winter frost is usually our #1 defense against ticks each year.
Ticks are active until the outdoor temperature reaches 28 or below and remains there for an extended period of time. The colder the winter, the less exposure we have to ticks come summer. If you recall, Virginia's winter was NOT very cold.
We need to be prepared to fend for ourselves this summer!

The Johnson Center has created a Triage Tick Kit:
This is the perfect kit to keep in your hiking or gardening bag! The Tick Bite Formula is made up of herbs that Dr. Buhner, a holistic Lyme specialist, has discovered to prevent Lyme from becoming chronic.
The formula was bottled by hand, in small batches from a small company in Massachusetts. The plants were picked at peak potency and processed within 24 hours to preserve active chemical constituents as well as inherent vitality.
