Tick Bite Prevention:

1. Wear long sleeves and long pants. Tuck shirt into pants and pants into socks. Wear light colored clothing to see ticks easier. Tie long hair back.

2. Spray clothes and shoes with permethrin repellent.

3. Check your body for ticks. Look for small dark spots (check freckles) and feel for bumps. Send us any ticks you find!

4. Remove ticks promptly and correctly. Hold the tick as close to the head as possible with a pair of tweezers. Pull straight out. Do not twist. Clean the bite site.

5. Worried about an insect bite? Talk with your health care provider.
