After being outside, prevent tick bites by:
• Removing ticks from your clothes and wearing light-colored clothing to make ticks easier to see.
• Performing “tick checks” on humans and pets after being outdoors, even in your own yard.
• Showering soon after coming inside.
• Placing clothes in a dryer on high heat for at least ten minutes to kill ticks you might have missed.
