Tick Season Tips for Safe Summer Outings

Summer’s here, and ticks are out in force—June’s the peak season for tick-borne illnesses like Lyme disease, which can mimic flu symptoms and sometimes include a signature rash. These tiny pests lurk in woods, brush, and even your backyard, so keep your yard tidy to reduce their habitat. When heading outdoors, wear long sleeves, tuck pants into socks, and use repellent (permethrin on clothes, DEET on skin). If you spot a tick, remove it fast with tweezers—grab near the skin and pull straight up. Keep the tick in a container just in case you need to show it to a doctor. Stay aware, not stressed, and enjoy the season safely. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
