Experts are saying this year’s tick season might be the worst in years, thanks to a mild winter and a shortage of acorns. (Fewer acorns means fewer deer mice for the ticks to feed on.) Here’s how to protect your family from bites and tick-borne diseases like Lyme disease when warm weather beckons. 🔴 Ticks hide out in tall grass and wooded areas where large animals live. When hiking, stick to the trails. 🔴 If you plan to be in the woods, apply tick repellent and wear a hat or bandana to protect your scalp. Wear long sleeves and pants if possible. 🔴 After a day of hiking or gardening, perform a head-to-toe tick check and shower within two hours of being outdoors. 🔴 Don’t forget to check your pets, too!

Eating disorders have a life-threatening impact on the heart, brain, stomach and more. That’s because our bodies are forced to break down their own muscles and organs when they’re starved for energy and nutrients.
If you or someone you love shows symptoms of an eating disorder (sudden weight loss, preoccupation with food or weight, strange eating rituals) you’ll find the support you need at Mercy Health. Our doctors are here to guide patients through the healing process with nutritional, psychological and emotional counseling.

Avoid the afternoon crash from energy drinks and pick up these healthy habits instead for a natural way to feel more energized and alert all day long. ⚡ Aim for at least 30 minutes of physical activity each day. People who exercise regularly have more energy and sleep better. ⚡Eat healthy snacks high in B vitamins, protein and fiber. Peanut butter on whole-wheat crackers, edamame and trail mix combat that midday slump. ⚡ Avoid empty calories, like sugary drinks, candy and pastries, which don’t provide lasting energy.
If lifestyle changes don’t boost your energy, visit your doctor. Chronic fatigue can be a sign of an underlying medical condition.
