- Promptly remove clothes
After you come inside from an outdoor adventure, or a day at the park quickly remove all articles of clothing, and put them in the dryer on high.
Lymedisease.org reported:
“run all your clothing through a hot dryer for at least 10 minutes, which will kill any live ticks that might be present in your clothing.”
After removing your children’s clothes, examine their whole body for any new markings that may be a bite mark or small tick.
Carefully, comb through their hair, and thoroughly check any area that is exceptionally warm, such as crevices in the body.
