🚨 Weekly Point of Safety: Tick Bite Prevention 🚨

As temperatures rise and outdoor activities increase, so does the risk of tick exposure. Recent reports indicate that weekly emergency room visits related to tick bites are higher than usual, making this an important reminder for all of us.

The best protection during tick season is prevention. If you discover an attached tick, remove it as soon as possible—don't wait to seek medical care. Removing a tick within 24 hours can significantly reduce the risk of contracting tick-borne illnesses.

Here are a few simple ways to help protect yourself:

✅ Use EPA-registered insect repellent
✅ Wear permethrin-treated clothing when appropriate
✅ Perform thorough tick checks after spending time outdoors
✅ Remove attached ticks promptly and safely

One of the easiest and safest tools for tick removal is a tick key, which can be purchased online for less than $10.
