Season 1 Episode 26: Talking About Ticks with Amy Korman, Extension Educator with Penn State

Keeping It Green

Pennsylvania has become a hot spot for tick-borne diseases with the dubious distinction of ranking #1 in the country for the number of Lyme disease cases per year. Amy Korman, a Penn State Educator, joins the podcast team to discuss the complex tick lifecycle, who is at most risk to exposure, and some management techniques. What is an accidental entomologist? And finally, why does Amy like to play in a really terrible orchestra?
