Check for Ticks After Outdoor Activities
After spending time outside, check areas where ticks commonly hide, including:
- Hair and scalp
- Behind the ears
- Neck area
- Underarms
- Waistline
- Legs and behind the knees
Parents should also check children carefully, especially after playing in grassy or wooded areas.
Wear Protective Clothing
Long sleeves, long pants, and closed shoes can reduce exposed skin when walking through areas where ticks may be present.
