Walk in the center of trails.
Wear long-sleeved, light-colored clothing.

Check your clothing and gear for ticks and do a full-body tick check when coming back indoors. Use this tick removal mit to help you! Pay special attention to under the arms, behind the knees, between the legs, in and around the ears, in the belly button, around the waist, and in the hair.

Tick Bite Protocol
Remove tick correctly
Clean bite area and put 1-2 drops of andrographis tincture directly on the area.
Place in a plastic bag , write date, and place in refrigerator.
Cover area with black drawing salve. Cover with bandage for 12-24 hours so it doesn’t get everywhere.
If I am certain I was bitten or my children were, my immediate homeopathic remedy is Ledum Palustre 200. It is not only a preventative medicine, but a corrective one as well. It is taken approximately every 3 hours for the first day, then one dose twice daily for a week. After that, twice weekly for a month, and then reduced to one dose a week for another month.
Contact your health care provider of choice right away if rash develops.
