## Resource

Most people get the "heebie-jeebies" at the sight of a single tick, but for Dan Wolff (aka "Tick Man Dan"), they are a thirty-year obsession. Having survived an estimated 250 tick bites, Dan has turned his personal history into a masterclass on public safety and prevention. In this episode of Lyme+, we go deep into the "Art of War" against our least-favorite, eight-legged enemies. Dan breaks down the terrifyingly sophisticated biomechanics of a tick bite, from the numbing agents they spit to keep you unaware, to the "cement" they use to lock themselves into your skin. Whether you are an avid outdoorsman or just someone trying to protect your kids in the backyard, this conversation is packed with the "Tick Bits" you need to stay safe this season.
