🕷️ Camp days, outdoor play…and tick checks!

Summer camps, hiking, sports, and hours spent outside are some of the best parts of childhood but they also mean more opportunities for tick exposure and tick-borne illnesses 👎🏻

One of the simplest things parents can do is make a head-to-toe tick check part of the end-of-day routine, especially for kids coming home from day camp or spending time in wooded or grassy areas.

🔎 Check carefully around the hairline and scalp, behind the ears, under the arms, around the waist, behind the knees, between the legs, and around the ankles. Ticks can be tiny and easy to miss!

Finding and removing an attached tick promptly can reduce the risk of certain tick-borne infections.

And remember: not every tick-borne illness causes the classic “bull’s-eye” rash. If you or your child develops fever, headache, unusual fatigue, muscle aches, rash, or just seems unwell after a possible tick exposure, contact your healthcare provider!! ☀️

🧠 Mental Health Matters

Just as we take care of our heart, lungs, and blood pressure, it’s important to take care of our mental health.

Stress, anxiety, depression, burnout, grief, and life changes can affect anyone. You don’t have to wait until things feel overwhelming to ask for help.

Taking care of your mental health is a sign of strength—not weakness.

If you’re struggling, know that you’re not alone, call us!

Did you know that bright, high-visibility swimwear can make it much easier to spot children in the water?

Neon orange, yellow, green, and pink bathing suits tend to be more visible in pools, lakes, and open water than blue, gray, or white swimsuits, which can blend into the background.

And remember—life jackets save lives. Whenever children are boating, fishing, kayaking, paddleboarding, or near deep water, a properly fitted life jacket is one of the most important pieces of safety equipment they can wear.

A few simple choices can make a big difference:
✅ Choose high-visibility swimwear
✅ Use Coast Guard-approved life jackets
✅ Designate a “water watcher”
✅ Never rely on floaties as a substitute for supervision

Let’s help keep our kids safe while they enjoy everything summer has to offer!

💚 Pine Point Medical wishes everyone a safe and healthy summer!!

As healthcare providers, we spend a lot of time talking about prevention—but it’s just as important that we practice what we preach!

Today I’m enjoying the sunshine in UPF/SPF protective clothing and a 4-inch wide-brim hat. ☀️🧢 Sun protection doesn’t mean you have to stay indoors—it means you can enjoy the outdoors while protecting your skin for years to come!!
