The South Milwaukee Health Department warned parents on its website about the dangers of ticks during the summertime.
According to a post on the department’s website, one mother found 11 ticks on her children, who were simply playing in the yard.
“There were no trips to the park or up north,” the post said.
The department said parents should check their children, along with themselves for ticks, which can make people sick, such as the Powassan virus or Lyme disease.
