How To Prevent Lyme disease?
- Apply bug repellant that contains DEET to exposed skin. If you don’t have any, you can apply lemon or lavender and even perfumes that have these ingredients.
- Wear long-sleeve shirts, socks, and pants that protect your skin when you go hiking.
- If you have long hair, put it up and wear a hat for extra precaution.
- After you come back from your hike, check your clothes to make sure you’re not carrying any ticks.
- Bathe after you come back, just as a precaution to make sure you prevent tick bites from transmitting Lyme disease.
