Reduce Risk
Of
Tick-Borne
Disease
UNIVERSITY PARK, (Centre
Co.) Steven Jacobs, entomolo
gist in Penn State’s College of
Agricultural Sciences, offers these
tips for avoiding tick-borne dis
eases, such as Lyme disease and
Rocky Mountain spotted fever:
• Avoid high-risk (brushy,
wooded) areas and trails, especial
ly in April, May, June and July.
• If you are planning to be in a
high-risk area, wear light-colored
clothing so you can more easily
detect dark-colored ticks.
• Check your clothing for ticks
every few minutes.
• Wear long-sleeved shirts and
long pants tucked into socks.
• Use a tick repellent containing
“DEBT’ on your skin and clothes,
unless you have a known allergy to
this compound.
• Inspect your clothes and body
carefully after returning from
high-risk areas.
• Inspect pets if they have been
in a high-risk area. On dogs and
cats, ticks often are found around
the face and ears. Many shampoos,
sprays and dusts are available to
eliminate ticks on pets. Tick col
lars are less effective, but are hel
ful as a repellent.
• If you find a tick on a person or
animal, remove it by carefully
grasping it at the mouthparts with
fine point tweezers and firmly
pulling it off.
• To learn more, contact your
county office of Penn State
Cooperative Extension, your phys
ician or your local health depart
ment
