This article provides useful information about the persistence of ticks during colder months and the ongoing work at the Pennsylvania Tick Research Lab.
Despite the drop in tick activity during the current cold snap, ticks remain resilient and are not killed off by the cold, as many people might assume.
The ticks, which use snow cover to stay alive, will re-emerge once temperatures rise above around 37°F, making it important to practice tick prevention during warmer days, especially when engaging in outdoor activities.
