Top 10 Tips to prevent Ticks or “tick tacks” as our girls call them 😆
Last year I looked at a very informative live chat between @rozannapurcell and @ticktalkireland over on @thehikelife page all about Ticks, Lyme Disease and what to do if you found one on you or your pet.
I previously had never come across a Tick in all my years of hiking, playing sports and outdoor activities and I wouldn’t have known what to do if I did. Fast forward a few months after watching the @ticktalkireland video and both our girls had a tick on their tummies, at the very same time 🤢.
Luckily we had our tick removers, froze the ticks in a zip lock bag, disinfected the area and watched out for all the signs of Lyme Disease. Thank God, they were both perfect and we have never come across one since 🙏
Below I will share some tips and information, but to learn more follow @ticktalkireland
The picture above is the very place where the girls got the ticks, walking through the long grass, their tops must have lifted and the ticks latched onto their tummies.
Picture 2 above shows the Tick buried headfirst into our kid’s tummy 🤢🙈
The Picture shows the Tick Removers and Repellent Spray that we use. We used the Tick removers to remove the ticks in our kid’s tummies and found them very effective.
The above picture shows #ourlittlehikers repellent bracelet. We find the bracelet very good and she loves wearing it.
Also, be sure to check your animals too.
