Pharmacist’s Tick Season Safety Tips
As tick season approaches, it’s vital to arm yourself with knowledge to safeguard against tick bites that could potentially lead to Lyme disease. Pharmacists emphasize preventative measures as the first line of defense. 1. Start by wearing bright colored long sleeves and pants when venturing into wooded or grassy areas. 2. Opt for insect repellents containing DEET, or picaridin. 3. Conduct regular tick checks on both yourself, and your pets after outdoor activities; ensuring you check in hard to see areas such as the scalp, groin, and skin folds. Promptly remove any attached ticks using fine-tipped tweezers, grasping the tick as close to the skin’s surface as possible. Remember, early detection and swift action are key in combating Lyme disease.
