Currently, there is no vaccine to protect against anaplasmosis. Individuals who spend time outdoors should be aware of the types of ticks in their area. Most ticks thrive in grassy and wooded locations and on animals. They are generally active in the warmer months between April and September. Many chemical products can protect against ticks when sprayed on clothing, and hikers should take care to avoid tall grass where possible. Always examine gear and pets following an outdoor venture and shower soon after being outdoors.
