It is important to take preventive measures to protect yourself and your pets from these potential health risks, such as using insect repellent, keeping your yard and home free of standing water, and regularly checking your pets for ticks and other pests. If you notice any symptoms of illness after being bitten by a tick or mosquito, seek medical attention immediately.
