Lyme disease found Brett and Mark Kristoff’s family, and they turned that experience into something bigger than themselves.

For years, they’ve shown up for the Lyme community because they know exactly what it feels like when this disease hits close to home.

Lyme disease. Babesiosis. Anaplasmosis. Powassan virus. Rocky Mountain spotted fever. Alpha-gal syndrome.

Different species can pose a wide range of health risks.

Ticks aren't just an annoyance on a hike—they're transforming our relationship with the outdoors.

ER visits for tick bites hit their highest point in a decade this past spring, while species like the lone star can sense and pursue prey up to 15 yards away.

Raise your hand if your brain immediately goes here...🙋

Ticks thrive in tall grass, brush, and wooded edges—so yeah, you're not wrong.

What's the one outdoor spot that instantly puts your tick radar on high alert? 👇

Your yard might be rolling out the welcome mat for ticks and you don't even know it.

A few landscaping changes can make it less inviting. From where you put your swing set to the wildlife visiting your yard, here's what to know. 🌿

👉🏻After being outdoors, put dry clothing in the dryer on high heat for 10-15 minutes. Damp clothing will need additional drying time.

#betickaware #alphagal

[Global Lyme Alliance @LymeAlliance]

August-October is larval tick season & clusters sometimes called “tick bombs” can show up almost anywhere.

They’re so tiny they’re often mistaken for chiggers or specks of dirt, meaning you could walk into a cluster of hundreds without realizing it.

[Global Lyme Alliance @LymeAlliance]

A few fast facts:
👉🏻One female tick can lay thousands of eggs in one small area, creating a concentrated cluster of larvae.
👉🏻Lone star tick bites are most often associated with alpha-gal syndrome, a potentially serious allergy to mammalian meat and other products.

Nobody warns you about the specific kind of heartbreak that comes with chronic illness.

It’s watching plans change, milestones pass, and the world keep building a future without you.

You can grieve the life you thought you’d have and still have hope for the life ahead. 💙

The kit tests the tick—not the person—and can't confirm transmission. It also doesn't screen for other tick-borne pathogens.

Independent peer-reviewed performance data aren't yet publicly available.

Would you try it or use mail-in testing? 👇

At-home tick testing is making headlines. 📰

TIME recently featured LymeAlert, a new kit designed to screen ticks for B. burgdorferi at home in under 30 minutes.

A few things to know.

Most NYC residents diagnosed with a tick-borne disease are infected while visiting grassy, wooded areas in upstate New York, Long Island or surrounding states.

When spending time outdoors this summer, take steps to keep ticks from tagging along: https://t.co/My8V7BEiU2 ⬇️

[Global Lyme Alliance @LymeAlliance]

When the tick check gets to the spots you can’t see… suddenly it’s a team effort. 😂

The real meaning of “I’ve got your back.”

Tag the person you’d trust with the
