Plans for an Athletics Master Village at Boise State University will upgrade and expand current facilities, the university athletic department announced Thursday.
Spring is a great time to get outside, for us and for our pets, but it is also time to get ready for fleas and ticks.
Martha Wassell, head of infectious disease control at Wentworth-Douglass Hospital, said ticks have definitely made an early appearance this year on the Seacoast. I can t say a lot about the numbers of ticks because we do not do tick counts, she said. But they are here, and have been increasing.
Wassell said there are specific reasons for the increase. She said warmer winters, increased humidity and fewer farms are creating favorable conditions for ticks.
