If youβre spending time outdoors this summer, tick prevention matters.
Whether youβre hiking, gardening, camping, or spending time at the cottage, taking a few simple precautions can help reduce your risk of tick bites.
Helpful prevention strategies include:
β’ Using an appropriate insect repellent
β’ Wearing long sleeves, pants, and closed shoes
β’ Avoiding tall grass and wooded brush
β’ Performing a full body tick check after being outdoors
Ticks are often found around:
β Legs and ankles
β Waistline
β Underarms
β Behind the knees
β Scalp and hairline
Early removal is important. The sooner a tick is found and removed, the lower the risk of disease transmission.
At WellnessRX Pharmacy, we focus on combining evidence-based pharmacy care with practical prevention education to support your familyβs health and safety.
