Love to garden? Ticks love gardens too – and hide in them. Wearing bug spray, long pants, long sleeves, and closed-toe shoes can help prevent tick bites. So can tick checks after spending time outside too. Get more tips to #FightTheBite: https://t.co/HCf8FHPG3P #TickSeason

I spent years working to expand postpartum coverage for new moms from 60 days to a full year. Now, over 16,000 Wisconsin moms on Medicaid will get the healthcare they need and deserve this year. That's a big deal.

If you find your #asthma symptoms worsen during the workday, you’re not alone. Work-related asthma is much more common than you may think, and can be managed when noticed and addressed. Don't let your asthma get in the way of your job: https://t.co/NbTLJW3SMB

Heading to the #FarmersMarket or grocery for fresh fruits and vegetables? They’re important for a healthy diet. And it's important to wash them under running water before eating to get rid of any germs that could make you sick. Get more #FoodSafety tips: https://t.co/MmOHcISwHt

With #storms forecasted in some of our communities later this week, we want you to be ready. Important, because Wisconsin has seen an increase in natural disasters over the years, requiring more than $157M in post-disaster funding. Protect your yourself: https://t.co/PByhcsRVaL

We the people declare independence from drunk driving this #FourthOfJuly.

If you’re planning to drink during your celebrations, arrange for a sober ride. Even one drink could derail your weekend – or your life.

Celebrating the #4thOfJuly with a #fireworks show of your own? Some people, especially #veterans living with #PTSD, are sensitive to the noise. So are some pets. Be considerate as you celebrate. Move to a location farther away and provide a heads-up to neighbors. #PTSDAwareness

[WIDeptHealthServices @DHSWI]

Many of us are celebrating #IndependenceDay with fireworks, parades, and picnics. But if you’re pregnant or think about getting pregnant – think twice about the #alcohol. There are no safe times, amounts, or types of alcohol to drink while pregnant: https://t.co/1n51pd8dVb #FASD
