Tick season is here and reports are showing a record number of tick related ER visits especially in the mid Atlantic/northeast regions— don’t skip the tick check!

After outdoor play, take 2 minutes to check your child for ticks 👇
✔️ Hair & scalp
✔️ Behind ears
✔️ Under arms
✔️ Behind knees
✔️ Waist & groin

Ticks are tiny and easy to miss — but quick removal helps prevent illness.

🛡️ Protect your kids:
• Use insect repellent
• Wear long sleeves/pants in grassy areas
• Shower after coming indoors

💬 When in doubt, check it out!
