Ticks are not only annoying but can also be dangerous, carrying diseases like Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever.
They pose a serious health risk and should not be tolerated in your environment.
If you encounter a tick, it’s important to identify the type and isolate the area. Keep pets and children away until it’s dealt with.
To prevent bites, wear gloves and long-sleeved clothing. Wash clothing and bedding on high heat, and vacuum thoroughly.
When removing a tick, use fine-tipped tweezers to pull it out gently, avoiding twisting. Clean the bite area with alcohol or soap and water. Dispose of the tick by flushing or using alcohol.
Monitor for symptoms after removal to ensure proper care.
