🕷️🌿 Tick Bite Prevention Week: How to Remove a Tick 🌿🕷️

Spending time outdoors is great for kids and families—but it’s important to know what to do if you find a tick. Removing a tick the right way and as soon as possible helps reduce the risk of infection.

✅ Steps to safely remove a tick:
• Use fine-tipped tweezers
• Grasp the tick as close to the skin as possible
• Pull upward with steady, even pressure
• Avoid twisting or squeezing the tick
• Clean the bite area with soap and water or rubbing alcohol

After removal, keep an eye on the bite area and watch for symptoms like fever, rash, fatigue, or headache. If you notice concerning symptoms, contact your pediatric provider.
