Ticks can be as small as a poppy seed. There are five ticks in this photo. Can you spot them?

Steps to protect against ticks:

1️⃣ Dress in light-colored long sleeves and tuck your pants into your socks.
2️⃣ Apply EPA-approved repellent (like DEET or picaridin) to skin and treat clothing with permethrin.
3️⃣ Always walk in the center of trails, and shower and do a full-body check as soon as you get home.
