I like to believe that I have love \u200cand compassion for all \u2064living things.<\/p>\n

Even spiders and snakes \u2013 \u2063which are pretty common\u200c fears for people \u2013 don\u2019t scare me\u2062 enough \u200bto\u2063 make me run away from them.<\/p>\n

You\u2063 could say I\u200c have a high tolerance\u200b for creepy \u200dcrawlies\u2026just not \u200bwhen it comes to ticks.<\/p>\n

Honestly, as\u2062 embarrassing as it is, I\u200b wouldn\u2019t lose \u200dany \u200bsleep if\u200d ticks disappeared from the planet tomorrow,\u200b never\u200b to\u2062 return.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re not only annoying (and invasive) but can also be quite harmful.<\/p>\n

Ticks\u200c can carry serious illnesses like Lyme \u2063disease and Rocky Mountain\u2064 spotted fever,\u200d so it\u2019s clear they \u2062aren\u2019t \u2064the best guests \u200cyou want around\u2026<\/p>\n

Depending\u2062 on where you live, the season, and\u2064 if you have pets at home,your chances\u2063 of running into \u2062ticks can\u200b be pretty high.<\/p>\n

So what should you do if and \u2063when you find\u2063 one of these tiny pests? \u200d \u200c<\/p>\n

Identify\u200c and isolate the problem<\/p>\n

It\u2019s smart to try and figure\u200b out what kind of tick \u2062it\u2062 is (like a black-legged\u2064 tick or dog \u2062tick). If the tick is in a certain spot, keep\u200b your kids or \u2064pets \u200daway until it\u2019s dealt \u200dwith. \u2062 \u200c<\/p>\n

Protective steps
\nTo prevent a tick from grabbing \u200conto \u200cyou \u200bwear gloves along with long-sleeved clothes so your skin isn\u2019t exposed.<\/p>\n

Clean\u200d thoroughly
\nMake sure to wash any clothes\u2062 or bedding \u200dthat\u200b might\u2019ve touched the tick \u200breally well on high\u2064 heat! Vacuum everywhere paying close attention\u200b to \u200dcorners \u200c& cracks.<\/p>\n

Tick removal
\nUse fine-tipped tweezers\u200b & grab hold \u2064of the\u2062 tick as\u200d close as possible\u200d to your skin\u2019s surface. Pull straight \u200cup slowly \u2064but don\u2019t \u2064twist or jerk so \u2064its head\u200d doesn\u2019t break off\u200b in your skin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
