It's the season of the (s)ticks 🎶
Here are some tips for staying safe from ticks this summer:
1. Wear light-colored clothing to make ticks more visible
2. Wear long pants tucked into shoes to cover skin
3. Tie back long hair to reduce exposure
4. Avoid tall grass and use cleared trails to avoid tick habitats
5. Shower within 2 hours of being outside to wash off unattached ticks
6. If you get bitten remove the tick right away and clean the area thoroughly
