## Resource

Alaska’s tick alert is on — and they need YOU to help track the spread. Whether you’re a pet parent or spotted one on yourself or wildlife, send in any ticks you find. The state’s monitoring invasive species popping up in Fairbanks and Anchorage, with no local ticks yet carrying Lyme disease pathogens — though climate change is making ticks a growing concern nationwide. Mail in your finds with a form to help build a smarter defense against these tiny invaders. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
