Warmer weather brings more outdoor activities and the increased risk of encountering ticks. Tick season generally runs between April and September in Nebraska but tends to peak in May and June.
According to Nebraska Department of Agriculture, the most common tick species found in Nebraska are the American dog tick (wood tick), lone star tick, and the Deer tick. Based on “syndromic surveillance,” Nebraska has seen two times the number of emergency room visits for tick bites compared to this time in previous years.
