Tick-Borne Diseases: What People and Livestock Owners Need to Know
On this episode of Trent on the Loos, Trent sits down with Dr. Scott McVey of the University of Nebraska School of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences to discuss tick-borne diseases. Dr. McVey explains which tick-borne illnesses pose the greatest threat to people and livestock, how ticks transmit disease, and how to identify exposure risks. The conversation covers emerging threats, practical prevention strategies, and essential tick protection tips for farmers, ranchers, and outdoor enthusiasts. Trent and Dr. McVey separate real health concerns from misinformation, giving Americans clear, science-based guidance on tick bites, disease risks, and protecting families and cattle herds.
