- Wear long-sleeved clothing — especially pants, as it’s often our legs that are most exposed to the grass and plants that we brush up against when outdoors.
Of course, here I am without any long-sleeved clothing.
- Ticks are particularly prone to moist and humid areas, so be especially careful in those conditions.
- Use repellent with DEET.
Pick your poison.
- When you’ve come indoors after spending time outdoors, check your clothing for ticks.
This might be a surefire way to kill any ticks that hitched a ride on your clothes.
- After you’ve checked your clothing, shower soon after, and inspect yourself (including those hard-to-reach areas) for the buggers.
