Tick Safety Tips

  • Always do a full-body tick check after spending time outdoors
  • Shower within 2 hours of coming inside to wash off unattached ticks
  • Put clothes in the dryer on high heat for 10 minutes to kill ticks
  • Use EPA-registered repellents containing DEET, picaridin, or IR3535
  • If a tick is attached, remove it with fine-tipped tweezers — pull straight up with steady pressure
  • Monitor for symptoms (rash, fever, joint pain) for 30 days after a bite
