Ticks can spread disease, including Lyme disease. Protect yourself:

• Use insect repellent that contains 20 - 30% DEET.

• Wear clothing that has been treated with permethrin.

• Take a shower as soon as you can after working outdoors.

• Look for ticks on your body. Ticks can hide under the armpits, behind the knees, in the hair, and in the groin.

• Put your clothes in the dryer on high heat for 60 minutes to kill any remaining ticks.
