Tick Ready Tennessee Workshop (6/16)

While ticks are found year-round in Tennessee, warmer temperatures lure us outside into tick country. With the beginning of summer camping and weekend boat days along the river, it is important to take the time to prevent and reduce contact with ticks and the health risks they pose.
 
The Medical and Veterinary Entomology Team at the University of Tennessee Institute of Agriculture is organizing workshops for community members, livestock producers, agricultural professionals, students and outdoor enthusiasts. 

The “Tick Ready Tennessee Workshop Series” is a new educational program focused on tick identification, tick-borne diseases and practical prevention strategies for humans and animals. 
 
The one-day workshop will be held in our area in Spring Hill (June 16th).

The workshops last from 9am to 5pm, and seating is limited. Register online by Monday, June 8th or email Katy Smith at katvsmit@utk.edu . Location and event details will be emailed to people who register.
