Health officials across various regions are issuing warnings about the potential health risks posed by ticks and mosquitoes due to changing climate conditions. The UK Health Security Agency has indicated that a warmer and more humid UK climate is likely to increase tick activity and distribution, potentially leading to a rise in Lyme disease cases. Similarly, the Hawaii Department of Health is urging the public to take precautions in response to a travel-related dengue case in Hale‘iwa, O‘ahu. Experts emphasize the importance of vigilance during the tick season, which is starting across the country and is most active from April until September. Additionally, there is a warning of another "long and intense" mosquito season.
