Why Ticks Are a Threat in Brookhaven
Brookhaven’s combination of wooded landscapes, warm weather, and abundant wildlife creates ideal breeding grounds for ticks. Pets and people can easily bring them indoors after spending time outside. Ticks often wait on grass blades, shrubs, or low branches for a host to pass by. Once attached, they feed on blood and may transmit pathogens that cause illness in both humans and animals.
