Ticks can carry harmful diseases like Lyme disease. Here’s how to handle them:
1. **Identify**: Determine the type of tick and keep kids/pets away. 2. **Protect**:
Wear gloves and long sleeves. 3. **Clean**: Wash clothes/bedding on high heat and
vacuum thoroughly. 4. **Remove**: Use tweezers to pull the tick straight out.
Avoid twisting. 5. **Dispose**: Clean the bite area and flush the tick
or soak it in alcohol. 6. **Monitor**: Watch for symptoms at the bite site
