Tick bites surge across the U.S., driving ER visits higher

Tick bites surge across the U.S., driving ER visits higher

Tick activity is rising in the Northeast and Midwest as warmer temperatures expand tick habitats, leading to a peak in tick-bite emergency-room visits for this time of year since 2017. Lyme disease remains the most common tick-borne illness, with about 476,000 US cases treated annually, and climate change is aiding the spread. To reduce risk, people outdoors should perform thorough tick checks on skin and clothing, shower after outdoor time, inspect hidden areas, and remove attached ticks promptly, since Lyme transmission typically requires 24–36 hours of attachment (other tick-borne diseases can transmit more quickly).

Spring Arrives Amid Another Round of Wintry Storms Across Midwest to Northeast

As meteorological spring begins on March 1, several storms will bring snow, ice and rain from the Midwest to the Northeast through mid‑next week, affecting about 120 million people. Arctic air will surge south, creating a broad wintry pattern with snow in parts of the Upper Midwest and central Midwest, while a larger Tue–Wed storm could push a wintry mix farther east and trigger urban flooding as melts advance. Travel could be slick, with fog and possible ice jams as rain and melting snow raise water levels in cities.

Next week could bring more storms and heavy rain to the Plains and Mississippi Valley, with potential flooding.
