Tips to keep you safe from ticks •
Leafy beds, long grass and branches - ticks hang out in these environments and easily hop onto whatever brushes past them. So, try to stay in the middle of the trail.
•
Wear long-sleeves and long pants in lighter colors so that they are easier to spot and don’t have immediate access to your skin.
•
Do a check when you return to your campsite and brush or shake off your clothing.
•
If you do find a tick, carefully remove with tweezers and take a picture of it to share with your doctor if you do begin to feel ill.
Mosquitoes These pesky insects are generally part of our camping life, but with the warming climate, we are noticing an increase in numbers as well as the diseases they are spreading. Tips to reduce the impact of mosquitoes • Reduce and cover the containers lying around where still water can collect – providing a breeding ground for mosquitoes. • Be aware that mosquito bites can make you sick, as they spread some viruses, so use insectrepellent as directed. • Cover up with long sleeved shirts and pants to reduce access to skin.
