Memorial Day weekend is here, and that means that summer is just around the corner! But the new season doesn't just bring new opportunities to enjoy the great outdoors-- it also brings new safety concerns that might make you want to just stay inside:

-Ticks, mosquitos, and the diseases they carry
-Water contamination
-Food safety
-Rip currents

Thankfully, the Ottawa County Department of Public Health employs several experts on their Environmental Public Health team who are dedicated to monitoring risks and informing the public, like today's guests, Drew and Nick. Their work helps make sure that you can enjoy spending quality time outdoors with your loved ones, worry-free.
