Hospital costs from fall-related injuries make up a significant portion of healthcare spending, highlighting just how serious and costly falls can be. The good news? Many falls are preventable.

Mosquitoes can transmit a variety of viruses so it's important to be prepared to keep
you and your family mosquito-bite free. Avoid mosquito bites by following the three Ds:
DRAIN – Eliminate standing water where mosquitoes live and breed.
DRESS – Cover your skin with clothing when outdoors.
DEET – Use insect repellents that contain DEET or other EPA-approved repellents.

BE TICK AWARE
- Ticks are common in Kansas and a natural part of the environment. If you spend time
outdoors you will encounter ticks.
- Ticks can carry diseases that make people and animals sick. These include Ehrlichiosis,
Tularemia, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever and the red meat allergy, Alpha-Gal Syndrome.
- Take measures to prevent tick bites.
- Perform careful tick checks on yourself, children and pets.
- Watch out for symptoms for 30 days after a tick bite. See your doctor right away if you
develop fever, headache, rash, fatigue, or any symptoms suggestive of tickborne disease.
Early treatment can prevent severe illness.
