Early spring means early tick season in Wyoming

Health officials are warning that tick season in Wyoming is coming early this year. Ryan Harmon with Natrona County Health says an early spring brought with it wet storms in April and May, increasing vegetation and leading to more ticks. Tangney Gray, a veterinarian in Casper, also warns that ticks already are showing up on cats and dogs. He says deterrents available through a veterinarian are much more effective than those at pet stores.
