Imagine a monster that swells to three times its normal size as it feasts on human and animal blood. It sounds like something out of a horror movie, but it describes what happens when a tick attaches itself to its victim’s skin. Even worse, as the tick hangs on, it can transmit bacteria that can cause severe illness.

Warmer weather means many people will spend more time outdoors, where ticks are waiting. Pyrotect yourself from tick-borne illnesses by preventing tick bites and aggressively controlling tick populations in and lawns.

Mow, clear and remove: Regularly remove grass, leaves and debris and keep woodpiles stacked neatly away from the house, off the ground if possible
Deer-proof your lawn: Remove plants that attract deer to discourage them from entering your lawn and bringing ticks
Protect play areas: Keep playgrounds, sandboxes, benches and sitting areas away from shrubs, buses and vegetation
Tick control: Tick control can be applied by a homeowner or professional pest control expert; follow label directions.

When You Are Outside
Cover skin and use repellents: Wear long sleeves and long, light-colored pants; tuck shirts into pants and pants into socks.
Repel ticks on exposed skin with repellent that contains 20 percent or more DEET, picaridin or IR3535. Do not use on children younger than two months. Use according to instructions on the label.
Treat clothing, socks, shoes, boots, and camping gear with products that contain permethrin; do not use this on skin. It can remain protective through several washings. Pre-treated clothing is available and may be protective longer.
Avoid direct contact with ticks
Avoid wooded and brushy areas with high grass and leaf litter.
Walk in the center of trails: stay on cleared trails when walking or hiking, and avoid the edge habitat where ticks are likely to be.
Talk to your veterinarian about effective tick control options.
Check yourself, kids and animals for ticks after going outside.
Do not let pets wander or spend time in brush or wooded areas. They can bring ticks inside and expose humans or other animals to tick bites and tickborne infections.

Vitamin A, at any dose, does not protect against measles and no parent should give to their child vitamin A in hopes of preventing measles. Vitamin A is a micronutrient, meaning very small amounts are all we need to stay healthy and we get those through a healthy diet and in recommended doses of over-the-counter multivitamin supplements. Larger doses of vitamin A given over prolonged periods are very dangerous and can lead to vomiting, blurry vision, headaches, and, when more severe, liver damage and coma.

It is recommended, that under a doctor's supervision, children infected with measles be given vitamin A once a day for two days to reduce the severity of the illness. But that is a small amount in a medical setting. The only way to prevent measles is to have your child vaccinated with the MMR vaccine.
