Tick Checks Please.

If you are spending time outdoors especially in gardens or woods this info is for you.

Each and every time you come in from the outdoors please shower immediately.  Strip down and use a hand mirror. Check your groin, back, behind your knees and your whole back body.

You don't want to give a tick a chance to bite and transmit bacteria.

www.tickreport.com offers a service to test a tick for bacteria.  If you have been bitten you can mail the tick to them for testing for a small fee.  That way you will know what bacteria your doctor will need to treat if you feel unwell.

stay well, stay safe.
