Tick Safety
A downloadable flyer with helpful tick‑safety tips is available below. It was created by Diego Elijah Arana, a recent Emory University graduate with a B.S. in Environmental Science and a B.A. in Human Health. Diego has generously shared this resource with FrOGS to support our community and help reduce the incidence of major tick‑borne diseases through better education and awareness of tick‑safety practices.
