This hands-on exhibit is an opportunity to get up close and personal with a variety of blood-feeding parasites, learn why bloodsuckers are important to the ecosystem and how to keep them out of your system.
• Additional sponsorship support is provided by Brightline, Broward County Cultural Division and Florida Department of State, Division of Cultural Affairs.
