Ticks are active in Illinois, and they’re not picky about where they bite. 👀
If you’re spending time outdoors hiking, gardening, or mushroom hunting, a few simple precautions can help prevent tick bites and reduce your risk of illnesses like Lyme disease and alpha-gal syndrome.
✔ Use insect repellent with DEET or picaridin
✔ Wear light-colored clothing and tuck pants into socks
✔ Walk in the center of trails and avoid tall grass
✔ Check yourself, your kids, and pets for ticks daily
✔ Shower after spending time outdoors
If you find a tick, remove it quickly and watch for symptoms like a rash or fever. Contact your doctor if you develop unexplained illness after a tick bite.
