Tick & Mosquito Awareness in the Perth Hills
Summer in the Perth Hills means sunshine, heat… and unfortunately, ticks and mosquitos.
While they’re a natural part of living in a bush environment, it’s important to protect yourself and your family, especially as the weather warms.
Natural repellents like citronella, eucalyptus, tea tree, patchouli and lemon myrtle can help reduce bites without exposing your body to heavy synthetic chemicals. Wearing light long sleeves on evening walks and keeping skin covered in dense bush areas can also help.
If you’ve been bitten and notice unusual symptoms such as fatigue, fever, headache, rashes or feeling unwell, it’s important to get checked.
Your immune system plays a big role in how well your body responds to bites, and our practitioners can help support you naturally.
Stay safe, stay informed, and look after your skin this summer.
