Tick Talk with Dr. Jean Tsao

Join the KBS Community in learning more about ticks this spring season.

We are welcoming Associate Professor Dr. Jean Tsao from MSU’s Fisheries and Wildlife and Large Animal Clinical Sciences departments.

With unseasonably warm temperatures this spring, ticks have made their way above ground earlier than usual. Those small insects may turn a tiny bite into a big problem.

Dr. Tsao will help us identify ticks found in Michigan, and highlight which ones we should be looking out for this season.

This event is free, no registration required.  If you are unable to attend the event will be live streamed, a link will appear here the day of the event.

Contact us at (269)671-2015 or communityrelations@kbs.msu.edu with questions or for further details.
