Spring is here—so are the bugs

Hi there,

As the seasons change, so do the bugs.

Ants in the spring.
Mosquitoes in the summer.
Spiders in the fall.
Rodents in the winter.

We notice them in our homes—but not always in ourselves.

Turns out, your body responds to the seasons too.

Colder weather can stress your immune system. Less sunlight messes with your mood (and vitamin D levels). Indoor air dries things out. And all of that makes it easier for parasites, mold, and bacteria to thrive.

Think barefoot walks, gardening without gloves, swimming in lakes, sipping from shared bottles, or letting your dog snuggle up after a roll in the grass.

All of these everyday moments make it easier to pick up microbes and parasites—especially when you’re more relaxed, more exposed, and spending more time outside.

And if you have pets? Your chances of exposure go up.

Even the cleanest, most pampered dogs and cats bring the outside in. Fleas, ticks, and microscopic organisms catch a ride in their fur and paws—and end up on your floors, furniture, and yes, sometimes your face.

You might not see them—but your body often sends subtle signals.

It can look like:

So here’s a little reminder as we dive into spring:
As the seasons shift, it’s a good time to check in—on your space and your body.

What needs cleaning out? What’s been building up?
Where are the bugs hiding—on your floor, or maybe deeper?

Because not all bugs are visible.

P.S. You're already staying ahead when it comes to your home and health—why not do the same with your career?
