Big hair, acid wash and the kind of confidence that says this grocery trip is getting handled. WIC can help families get more out of that trip, and many families may qualify without realizing it. bit.ly/onemoreway-WIC

Some summer flings are better avoided. 💔 After time outside, check yourself, your clothes, your gear and your pets for ticks. If you find one, remove it as soon as you can with tweezers. www.jeffco.us/Animal-Borne-Disease

Jeffco has seen recent rabies exposures involving people touching bats and wildlife. Before kids head to camp, trails or parks, remind them: never touch wild animals, tell an adult if they find one and keep pets away. Safest way to help: keep distance and call animal control. jeffco.us/2365/Rabies
