If you need to remove a tick, don’t use a lighter to burn it off! Instead, put gloves on and use a fine-tipped tweezer to grab the tick at its head. Get as close to the skin as possible and pull upward slowly, without twisting, until the tick comes out. You can protect yourself from ticks this spring by: - Limiting exposed skin. - Wearing light-colored clothing to spot them easily. - Walking in the middle of trails. - Wearing bug spray with DEET. #TickSeason #FirstAidTips #FirstAidTraining
