C1 3 outdoors.... but more time outside means more chances to get bitten by a tick.

And that bite could lead to lyme disease.

Ines de la cuetara has the steps you need to take to protect yourself from ticks in today's your health.

L3: your health white protecting yourself from ticks smores by the fireplace, or a picnic at the park.

Summer calls for outdoor fun, but also puts you at risk of potentially getting bitten by a tick.

Luckily, rockland county health commissioner has steps your family can take to stay protected.

First, check your skin for ticks daily, especially if you're outdoors in a woody or grassy area.

Second, if you spot a tick attached to you, remove it as soon possibly.

Use a fine-tip tweezer.

Grasp the tick near the mouth parts, and pull it away in an upward motion away from the skin until it lets go.

After removal, you can call a local lab for identification or keep the tick in a plastic bag in case a rash or symptoms of lyme disease develop.

Third, wear clothes that can protect you.

This includes light colored, long sleeved shirts and long pants.

Be sure to wear socks and shoes, and tie long hair back.

Fourth, use insect repellent carefully and be sure to follow the directions on the repellent label.

Contact your pediatrician about using certain products on your children.

Lastly, be familiar with the symptoms of lyme disease, and check the site of a tick bite for symptoms for at least 30 days.

Symptoms can include headache, fatigue, swollen glands, fever, or an enlarged rash.

Contact a doctor if you have concerns or are feeling ill.

With these steps you can enjoy fun outdoor activities, while also helping your family stay tick-free!

With this medical minute, i'm ines de la cuetara.
