Dr. Bazzoli said ticks are typically found in wooded areas or places with tall grass where they can crawl onto their prey. To help avoid being bit, he recommends using tick repellent and wearing long-sleeved, light-colored clothing. You can also tuck your pants into your socks and your shirt into your pants. That way, the tick can’t get to your skin.

Dusk and early dawn are the most prevalent times for mosquitoes.

With the weather getting colder and hunting season in full swing, it's important to remember that ticks are still active this time of year.
