I love nature. I love all living things, I love greenery, I love animals. But until there is a Lyme vaccine, everyone has to protect themselves and their loved ones against ticks. Whether you are just in the grass, in the woods, or in the garden. Here's what I do:
I have my entire yard sprayed with cedar oil once every two weeks.
I spary myself and my dog with Wondercide when we go out for a walk.
I use DEET and Permethin if my kids go into the woods. Always. I spray my kids shoes too just for general sports play.
I wear a netted outfit when I garden that pretty much covers my whole body but let's the air flow. This is the one I bought from Etsy.
I don't camp, I don't hike, I tick check every night and my dog wears a tick collar and gets groomed regularly.
Be safe this summer.
