Every summer when the weather heats up we encounter bugs�or more importantly Wood Ticks. Ticks are external parasites that live off the blood of mammals, birds and humans. Here is how you can prevent and take care of yourself should you have a close encounter with the eight legged parasite.

Lyme Disease

This is an important issue. Thanks for the tips, Bettina.

I think we take a tick bite for granted. With the little buggers carrying more diseases than ever, we need to do all we can to prevent our bodies from being invaded with diseases we can't fight off.

Thank you Debbie.
