🌿 TIP TUESDAY: TICKS! 🕷️
In NJ we are no strangers to ticks but June, July and August are peak months for tick encounters, so we figured now is a good time as ever to talk about it!
Whether you’re working on the farm, enjoying a hike, trail riding, or simply spending time in the backyard, a few simple precautions can help reduce your risk of tick bites and the illnesses they can carry.
🕷️ Use tick repellent.
👕 Cover up with light-colored, long-sleeved shirts and long pants.
🔎 Perform a full-body tick check after spending time outdoors.
🚿 Shower as soon as possible after being in areas where ticks may be present.
👖 Wash and dry clothes promptly after outdoor activities.
Don’t let a tiny tick put a damper on your time outdoors! A little prevention can go a long way. 🌾🌳
