Tidbits of Wisdom
Preventing Lyme Disease

With the warmer weather and lush foliage blooming in spring, your risk of developing Lyme disease increases. Follow these important steps to decrease your chances of being bitten by a tick carrying the disease:

• Treat clothing with products containing 0.5% permethrin. Permethrin can be used to treat boots, clothing and camping gear and remain protective through several washings. 
• Avoid heavy brush - while hiking, stick to the trail.
• Use EPA-registered insect repellent.
• Check your body for ticks after being outdoors.
• Treat pets with tick-prevention products your vet recommends.
• Clear tall grasses and brush around your home.
