If you like to go out in the woods, you need a strategy to prevent tick bites: protective clothing, effective repellent and tick checks.
Tick-borne diseases now cover a wider range than they once did. How can you keep from getting infected, and what should you do if you are?
When venturing out into tick territory, wear the right clothes: long sleeves and long pants coated with permethrin. This can deter ticks and reduce the risk of bites.
