Ticks can be active in any season and it’s important to check for and remove the bloodsuckers as quickly as possible — especially after you’ve been outside hiking, gardening or enjoying nature. “Humans are outside more in summer so we hear about more tick infections,” said Sam Telford, an infectious diseases expert at Tufts University.

IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi informed CBS that although recent attacks significantly damaged Iran’s nuclear program, they did not completely destroy it.
