Planning on enjoying the great outdoors?
Tick bites can sometimes lead to Lyme disease. Here are some things you can do to reduce the risk:
- Use a repellent that prevents ticks
- Wear long sleeves and long trousers
- Keep to clearly defined paths
- Regularly check for ticks while out and again once you get home
- If you find a tick, remove it as soon as possible
