Voices of Forestry Ep. 66 - Tickborne Diseases

July 04, 2025 • Arkansas Forestry Association

With summer upon us, Voices of Forestry Host Seth Stephenson thought it would be a good idea to talk about tickborne diseases. He is joined by Dr. Laura Rothfeldt, the State Public Health Veterinarian with the Arkansas Department of Health. The two talk about symptoms of various tickborne diseases, what to do if you star feeling those symptoms and tick prevention tips. To reach out to the zoonotic team at the AR Department of Health, you can email them at adh.zoonotic@arkansas.gov.
