Tick Prevention Tip: If you're spending time outdoors, wear light-colored clothing. It makes it much easier to spot ticks before they have a chance to attach, giving you an extra layer of protection while you enjoy the outdoors.

A quick tick check when you head back inside is always a good idea, too!

Generally speaking, if a tick is carrying a tick-borne illness, it typically must remain attached for about 18–24 hours before transmission can occur.

That’s why routine tick checks are so important. Finding and removing ticks promptly is one of the best ways to reduce the risk of Lyme disease and other tick-borne illnesses. 🌿
