All those recommendations are good. I would add that if you do find an embedded tick, make a notation on your calendar - since flu like symptoms don't appear until up to 10-14 days later it's helpful to have a specific date to refer back to. Especially since not everyone develops a "Bulls Eye" rash. I've also learned that it's not uncommon to develop multiple bulls eyes, and sometimes the bulls eye rash looks more like someone punched you... almost bruise like. Additionally I've found the ticks seem to prefer cooler (but not cold) damp days of spring. I use the tape too, but whatever I have handy, it works so well.Allysonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14255330493156396836noreply@blogger.com
