Many ticks in the Mid-Atlantic area can transmit harmful infections such as Lyme disease.
Unfortunately, the mild winter has boosted the local area's tick population.
As such, it is very important to protect yourself from potential tick bites especially now through August, a period when ticks are most populous.
To help protect yourself and your family, you should:
- Use a chemical repellent with DEET, permethrin or picaridin
- Wear light-colored protective clothing
- Tuck pant legs into socks
- Avoid tick-infested areas
- Check yourself, your children, and your pets daily for ticks and carefully remove any ticks
