YWN:  “It is imperative that all residents take every precaution necessary against tick-borne illnesses, especially during outdoor activities,” said County Health Commissioner Dr. Carol Smith. “Residents should vigilantly check themselves and their pets for ticks and tick bites.”

Symptoms of the virus include fever, headache, vomiting, weakness, confusion, loss of coordination, speech difficulties, and memory problems.
