How do you prevent tick bites?

Properly Removing a Tick * Use tweezers to grasp near the head or mouth of the tick closest to the skin. Gently pull the whole body straight out without twisting or crushing.

* After removing, try to seal the tick in a plastic bag or jar so it can be identified by your doctor.

* Wash your hands and the affected area with soap and water.

* If you are unable to completely remove the head, call your doctor.

* Do not try to burn, use petroleum jelly or rubbing alcohol to remove ticks. These methods do not work.
