Take Showers regularly

Ticks are usually tiny when they invade the body initially. They increase in size as they feed and remain relatively small. Ticks usually take time to attach themselves so showering immediately after exploring the outdoors is recommended. Regular showers will help get rid of loose ticks. You should shower within 2 hours after coming from the outdoors although it is important to take a shower right away. You should follow up with a thorough body check especially if you are from visiting an area known to have deer ticks.
