Tick Bites: What to Watch for After Outdoor Time 🕷️🌿☀️

Spent time outside hiking, gardening, camping, or playing sports? After outdoor time, always check for ticks.

CDC guidance says to remove attached ticks as soon as possible, clean the area, and watch for rash, fever, or flu-like symptoms in the following weeks.
