Ticks, Mosquitoes & Our Health Webinars

Ticks, Mosquitoes and our Health Save the Date

Let us answer all of your questions about ticks and mosquitoes!

Have you ever wondered how long a tick lives? Or how the diseases that ticks spread are diagnosed? Or maybe you just want to know how to avoid tick and mosquito bites?

Last March, the Minnesota Department of Health offered a series of webinars that focused on ticks, mosquitoes, and our health. Each of the webinars covered similar information yet focused on answering questions that each particular type of audience may have. Attendees learned more about which types of ticks and mosquitoes live here in Minnesota, the health risks associated with them, and how to better enjoy the great outdoors by keeping ticks and mosquitoes away.

Don’t worry if you missed the live webinar - simply check out the archived webinar recordings below.
