Tick Bite Prevention
Checking for ticks and prompt removal of attached ticks is probably the most effective method of prevention.
Deer ticks can be the size of a sesame seed (adult) or as small as poppy seed (nymph).
Personal protective behaviors, including avoidance and reduction of time spent in tick-infested areas, using protective clothing and tick repellents, checking the entire body for ticks, and promptly removing ticks are effective methods in preventing Lyme Disease.
