DOH-Nassau Urges Residents to Protect Themselves from Mosquito and Tick-Borne Illnesses

Full Story

Yulee, Fla. - The Florida Department of Health in Nassau County (DOH-Nassau) is urging all residents and visitors, especially those that are spending time outdoors, to protect themselves from mosquito and tick bites this summer season. While most tick and mosquito bites are only an annoyance, sometimes these bites can be dangerous. Preventing bites reduces the risk of a person getting infected with a mosquito or tick-borne disease.

Hepatitis A—remember to always wash your hands.

No one cares more about your baby than you—Get Tested for STDs

Protect the vulnerable. Wash your hands. Practice social distancing. Wear a mask. One Goal - One Florida. Text "FLCOVID19" to 888-777.

The elderly and those with underlying medical problems like high blood pressure, heart problems and diabetes are more likely to develop serious illness. Wash your hands with soap & water. Cover your coughs & sneezes with your arm, not your hands. If you're sick, stay at home & avoid crowds.
