Berrien County Health Department conducts annual tick surveys with state grants to monitor active ticks and prevent Lyme disease.

Berrien County Health Department is monitoring active ticks during the season, using state grants for annual tick surveys. The primary concern is Lyme disease, with measures advised to avoid tick bites, including showers, long clothing, and bug spray. If a tick attaches and causes illness, symptoms may appear after weeks, with a ring-like rash at the bite site. The public can identify ticks through the state's website.
