Tick-Borne Disease
Awareness:
 Tick bites are usually painless, the
ticks are tiny, and consequently many people are unaware they have been bitten.
To protect yourself this summer when enjoying the great outdoors follow these
simple tips to avoid tick bites:
Wear light colored clothing, tuck pants into socks when in the woods, long loose
hair should be covered, and after coming in from outside put clothing in dryer
on high heat to kill any stray ticks.
