Pfc. Edward Antoine, assigned to the Department of Public Health at Munson Army Health Center, Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, conducts a tick drag in the woodlands on post, May 19. The Army conducts tick drags to monitor tick populations and identify potential health risks in areas where Soldiers, families and pets live, work and train. Public health officials say awareness and early prevention remain the best defense against tick-borne illnesses, including Lyme disease, and encourage everyone to make tick checks part of their regular outdoor routine this spring and summer.
