It is prime season for mosquito and tick bites which can cause diseases like Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, Lyme disease, and West Nile Virus.
Robin Allen Nurse Practioner with SSM-Audrain says one of the best ways to avoid bites is through prevention.
Allen says if you do a really good job of checking your clothing and getting the ticks off right away you have less of a chance of contracting those diseases.
