Interactive Map displays U.S. flea and tick activity in real time

WebMD Health Corp., the leading source of health information, today announced the availability of the WebMD Flea and Tick Map (http://pets.webmd.com/dogs/flea-tick-map-tool/default.htm), a state-by-state breakdown of flea and tick prevalence, allowing consumers to access the latest updates on the severity of these pests across the country and in their backyard.

With seasonal tick activity varying widely due to climate, and with Lyme disease spreading from state to state, the WebMD Flea and Tick Map offers consumers a snapshot of how their area is affected by these parasites.

“With millions of consumers coming to WebMD each month to find information on maintaining their family and pets’ health, WebMD recognizes that pets are an important part of people’s lives and is pleased to offer the first real-time mechanism to track flea and tick prevalence,” said Dr. Michael Smith, WebMD chief medical editor. “Consumers can now use WebMD’s Flea and Tick Map to access the most useful information to protect their pets from flea- and tick-related illnesses.”

WebMD’s Flea and Tick Map uses proprietary data compiled from an aggregation of relevant topics and declared information, including WebMD Symptom Checker visits related to insect bites. This methodology enables consumers to monitor mild to severe flea and tick activity levels with real-time, geo-located analyses of localized flea and tick prevalence. Located within the WebMD “Healthy Outdoor Fun With Your Dog” editorial destination, the Flea and Tick Map and related content are reviewed by accredited veterinarians and offer pet owners a one-stop, personalized resource for pet care information.

Brought to you by Merck Animal Health, a global animal health company dedicated to the science of healthier animals, the WebMD Flea and Tick Map will track weekly severity of flea and tick activity. States that are currently experiencing the highest flea and tick activity across the U.S. include:
