How to protect yourself from ticks year-round

Ticks can be active in any season and experts say it is important to check and delete blood suckers as quickly as possible. There are many different species of ticks found on a global scale and only a few distributed germs that can make people sick. A main concern is black ticks, also called deer ticks, which can spread Lyme disease. After being outside, check your clothes for the ticks and make a complete check, including under the arms and behind the ears, knees and hair. Also check the dog and cat fur that wander outside to make sure that your pets do not bring ticks inside.
