⚠️ Tick Season is Here — Stay Alert! 🕷️🌿

With warmer weather comes an increase in ticks, especially here in Connecticut. Children are at higher risk because they spend so much time outdoors playing, hiking, and exploring. We recommend doing a full tick check DAILY after outdoor activities.

🔍 Common places ticks like to hide:
• Along the hairline & scalp
• Behind the ears, in creases
• Under the arms
• Around the waistband
• Behind the knees
• Between fingers & toes
• Around the groin area

🩺 If you find a tick:
• Use fine-tipped tweezers
• Grasp the tick as close to the skin as possible
• Pull upward slowly and steadily
• Clean the area well with soap/water and apply bacitracin to avoid infection
• Avoid using petroleum jelly, nail polish, or heat to remove ticks

📅 Over the next 30 days, watch for:
• Fever
• Fatigue
• Headache
• Rash (especially a bullseye-shaped rash)
• Joint pain or swelling
• Flu-like symptoms

If your child develops symptoms after a tick bite or you have concerns, please contact our office. Early detection is important!

☀️ Prevention tips:
✔️ Wear light-colored clothing outdoors
✔️ Use EPA-approved insect repellents
✔️ Shower after outdoor activities
✔️ Check pets, clothing, and gear for ticks too

Stay safe and enjoy the outdoors! 💚
