Ticks can actually be active with temperatures just a few degrees above freezing.
Dog ticks and black-legged ticks, known as deer ticks, are common in the La Crosse area.
While they may be small, ticks can be a big problem, causing lyme disease.
A little bit of work can help keep you healthy.
“We want people to use tweezers to really gently pull the tick off from the head,” said Dr. David McNamara, an infectious disease physician at Gundersen Health System.

Concept SALi moves forward.
Australia Post intends to resume its evaluation of a smart kiosk for post shops that allows customers to lodge packages themselves without staff assistance.
Concept SALi - Smart Automated Lodgement API - was commissioned by Australia Post and developed by Melbourne-based meldCX with a handful of other partners.
It was unveiled last year at the annual National Retail Federation (NRF) show in the United States.
The self-service kiosk is built on AOPEN commercial hardware, and uses AI technology from Intel and cloud services from Google and Microsoft.

Media release from the Asthma and Respiratory Foundation NZ
Tuesday 2 February 2021, 10:04 AM
Asthma and Respiratory Foundation NZ (ARFNZ) are urging that the new Vaping Act regulations focus on the end goal of quitting both smoking and vaping.
Public consultation is now open for the ‘Smokefree Environments and Regulated Products Act 1990’ regulations, calling for feedback on proposals under review including displays of vaping products in retail stores, the use of harm-reduction statements, and packaging requirements for vape products.
ARFNZ are preparing a submission to address their key concern - that there is a strong focus on promoting vaping as a ‘quit smoking tool’, but very little to encourage users to quit vaping as well.
