Nearly 1 in 3 nighttime fatalities involve speeding.

When you can't see as far ahead, traveling at high speeds means you're driving blind to what’s around the next bend — whether it’s a curve, an animal, or a pedestrian.

Slow down and give yourself time to stop. 🫸

STAY TICK AWARE
🏕️ Ticks are common in Kansas, and a natural part of the environment. If you spend time outdoors you will encounter ticks.
🤒Ticks can cause diseases such as Ehrlichiosis, Anaplasmosis, Tularemia, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, Heartland virus, Bourbon virus, alpha-gal syndrome and Lyme disease.
🚫Prevent tick bites:
🚨DRESS🚨
- Wear light-colored long shirts and pants.
- Treat clothing with permethrin before spending extended periods outdoors.
🚨DEFEND🚨
- Use EPA-registered insect repellants.
- Avoid brushy areas and stay in the middle of trails.
- Shower when returning indoors.
- Heat clothes in dryer at high heat for 10 minutes.
- Use vet recommended tick preventatives for pets. NEVER use insect repellents on animals.
- 🏡Keep your yard tick free by keeping grass and bushes trimmed, removing fallen leaves, stacking wood in dry areas, keeping bins tightly lidded, having a 3-foot wide wood chip or gravel barrier between your lawn and wooded areas, keeping wildlife out and positioning recreational areas away from yard edges.
🚨DETECT🚨
- Check yourself, children and pets from ticks.
- REMOVE any ticks quickly and safely: Grasp the tick close to the skin, pull upwards evenly without twisting. Wash hands and the bite site. Don't use nail polish, petroleum jelly, essential oils, or heat.
🩺Call your DOCTOR if you develop a fever, rash, or flu-like illness within 30 days after tick exposure. Early treatment can prevent severe illness.
