🌿 TICK SEASON ALERT FOR TENNESSEE FAMILIES! 🌿
As summer fun ramps up, so does the risk of tick-borne illnesses for our kids. 🐜🌳 In Tennessee, the biggest concerns are Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF), ehrlichiosis, and rickettsiosis. Lyme disease is rare in Tennessee, but it’s important to know about it, especially if you’re traveling.
🗓️ When? Peak tick season in Tennessee is from May to July, when infected ticks are most active and kids are more likely to be outdoors.
🕷️ Top Tick Types in Tennessee:
Lone star tick (Amblyomma americanum)
American dog tick (Dermacentor variabilis)
Gulf Coast tick (Amblyomma maculatum)
🚫 Prevention Strategies:
✅ Dress smart! Long sleeves, pants tucked into socks.
✅ Use EPA-registered repellents: DEET, picaridin, IR3535, oil of lemon eucalyptus, or permethrin-treated clothing.
✅ Do regular tick checks after playing outside, especially behind ears, around waistbands, and at hairlines.
✅ Prompt removal is critical! Use fine-tipped tweezers to gently pull out ticks as soon as possible—ideally within a few hours. The risk of disease transmission jumps if a tick stays attached for more than 24–48 hours.
💊 Antibiotics? In Tennessee, routine antibiotic treatment after a tick bite is not recommended unless there’s a rare, high-risk Lyme disease exposure (which is not common here). There’s no vaccine to prevent these diseases either, so prevention and prompt removal are your best defenses.
📝 Stay Informed & Stay Safe! Education and tick awareness go a long way to keep your kids healthy while they enjoy the great outdoors.

Does your tween or teen have skincare on their holiday wish list? Be sure to look up if that desired product is right for their young skin. Many skincare products intended for adults may be too harsh for the skin barrier of a tween or teen and can actually cause harm. Most dermatologists agree that a gentle cleanser, lightweight moisturizer, and sunscreen are a reasonable routine for teens and tweens.
