How Do I Prevent Tick Bite? |
|
Answer» A variety of METHODS exist to REDUCE the possibility of TICK bite and prevention is best achieved via some form of personal protection. People who bushwalk in tick infested areas need to use an insect repellent, particularly one containing the chemical DEET, and this should be applied regularly to clothing. Wearing light COLOURED clothing is useful as ticks can be more easily SPOTTED. Bushland locations which are highly tick infested should be avoided.
