29

Warm days are here and so are the bugs that come along with it. Ticks are one of those bugs that may cause illness when bit. 

Ticks live in grassy, brushy, or wooded areas. Spending time outside walking your dog, camping, gardening, hiking, or hunting could bring you in close contact with ticks. Many people get ticks in their own yard or neighborhood.

Be sure to check yourself, children and animals when going outside where ticks may found. If you do find a tick on yourself, be sure to remove it properly https://youtu.be/oGrK4ZKUfhQ
