What To Expect During This Year's Tick Season

Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies

The Northeast appears to be in for a long tick season that may last throughout the spring and summer and well into the fall.


That's the estimation from Holly Ahern, an Associate Professor of Microbiology at SUNY Adirondack who studies tickborne disease and is also a member of the advocacy group Project Lyme.

Ahern spoke with WAMC's Lucas Willard.

Lucas Willard is a news reporter and host at WAMC Northeast Public Radio, which he joined in 2011. He produces and hosts The Best of Our Knowledge and WAMC Listening Party.
