Pivoting professionally takes courage, especially after building a career for many years.

LymeAlert co-founders Erin Dawicki and Michelle Ewy know this firsthand. They took the leap, bringing years of medical, scientific, and professional experience with them into a completely new chapter.

Along the way, they kept learning, leaped into entrepreneurship, and put their knowledge to work on an issue that deserves more solutions.

This month we celebrate those who trade the familiar for a new challenge and turn ideas into action. by @lymealert

Plot twist: That giant fall leaf pile has some tiny, uninvited guests.

Raking or letting the kids jump in? Leaf piles create cool, damp spots where ticks love to hang out.
During and after your yard work or play:

▪️ Wear long sleeves and pants
▪️ Do a full tick check when you finish

Enjoy the crisp autumn crunch while keeping your family safe! by @lymealert

Back-to-school is here!

Pencils? Check.
Lunchbox? Check.
Permission slip? Check.
Tiny hitchhiker scan? Check.

Between recess, sports practice, and after-school activities, kids spend a lot of time where ticks like to hang out.

So make a quick tick check part of your after-school routine. It only takes a minute, and it’s one of the easiest ways to help protect your family.

Have an amazing school year.
