What to Watch for With Ticks, and When
Episode 60
Monday, 18 August, 2025

Ticks can be active whenever the temperature is above 40 degrees, meaning the tick-borne illness is more than a seasonal worry limited to a portion of the summer. And Connecticut is seeing more types of ticks, and more than just Lyme disease.  Dr. Kevin Dieckhaus, chief of UConn Health's Division of Infectious Diseases, explains all this, plus how to recognize, treat, and reduce the risk of tick-borne illness, and says some potentially promising Lyme disease news is on the horizon. (Dr. Kevin Dieckhaus, Carolyn Pennington, Chris DeFrancesco, September 2025, studio and production support by Ethan Giorgetti and Ryan Bernat) Kevin Dieckhaus, MD https://www.uconnhealth.org/providers/profiles/dieckhaus-kevin UConn Health Division of Infectious Diseases https://www.uconnhealth.org/infectious-diseases
