Spending time outdoors in Mississippi can sometimes come with a nasty surprise. After a walk in tall grass or a day working in the yard, you might notice a tiny tick attached to your skin. And since tick bites rarely hurt, many people aren’t even aware of the insect’s presence until late in the day.
Knowing how to remove a tick properly can reduce irritation and lower your risk of infection. If you’re not sure how to handle a tick bite or you notice any unusual symptoms, our team at Amory Urgent Care can examine the area and help you decide how best to proceed.
