Ticks are the leading carriers of diseases to humans in the United States, second only to mosquitoes worldwide, according to e-medicine health. Outbreaks of tick-related illnesses follow seasonal patterns (about April to September in the United States) as ticks evolve from larvae to adults. While the best way to avoid ticks is to limit your exposure to their habitats (woodsy areas), if this is not possible, experts suggest wearing long-sleeve light-colored clothing, tucking pants legs into socks, applying repellent and thoroughly checking your body for possible ticks afterwards. Remember to check your children and pets too! Learn more about tick prevention and control from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention site. Should you find a tick, do not panic—read more about removal instructions. To find out more about tick-borne diseases, visit here. Photo Courtesy of IStockPhoto |
