Found a tick⁉️
Don't panic, just act quickly. ⚠️
When removing ticks make sure you're using the right techniques for safe removal.
Myths: Using a hot match, nail polish, petroleum jelly, or peppermint oil for tick removal.
These techniques present more concerns and chances for disease transmission.

Happy Memorial Day weekend! Please be tick aware as you spend time outdoors this spring and summer. Prevent tick-borne disease by applying insect repellents containing DEET, wearing long sleeves and long pants, and by avoiding tick environments such as wooded and tall grass areas.
