Let's Talk Tick Prevention

Picture
ICMS strongly recommends reducing exposure to ticks to lower your chances of getting a tickborne disease. We encourage you to take preventive measures throughout the year, but you should be extra careful during warmer months when ticks are most active.

If you are working or playing outside, the Maine CDC offers the following recommendations:
  • Wear EPA-approved repellents.
  • Avoid wooded and brushy areas with high grass and leaf litter.
  • Walk in the center of trails.
  • Wear long-sleeved, light-colored clothing.
  • Tuck your pant legs into your socks and your shirt into your pants.
  • Check your clothing and gear for ticks and do a full-body tick check when coming back indoors. Pay special attention to under the arms, behind the knees, between the legs, in and around the ears, in the belly button, around the waist, and in the hair.
  • Take a shower within two hours after spending time outdoors, which will wash off any unattached ticks.
