Tick Bite Prevention Tips
Bad news: It’s tick season. Good news? It’s simple to prevent tick-borne illnesses like lyme disease.
Ticks tend to thrive in grassy, wooded areas, often in moist environments low to the ground. You can help minimize your risk of tick-borne illness by wearing DEET repellent, sporting protective clothing, and frequently checking for ticks. Before you head outdoors this season, review our tick bite prevention tips.
- Stick to well-defined trails. Avoid tall grass and bushes.
- Wear protective clothing. Think closed-toe shoes and long pants. Tuck in shirts and pant legs.
- Use insect repellent that's at least 20% DEET. Thoroughly spray skin and clothing.
- If you're outside, check frequently for ticks.
- Bathe after time outside. Scrub thoroughly and wash your hair.

"Ever since I came here and met the team, they really inspired me to start helping other people. I've started making TikToks to help other people who have been in situations that I've been in, and I'm just here to tell them, "Hey, everything's gonna be fine."
Dr. Katie Berlacher | UPMC Life Changers
During #HospitalWeek, we’re celebrating the ways our providers give back to the communities they serve.

This program pairs high school students with experts from the UPMC Heart and Vascular Institute, allowing each student to learn about the profession and heart disease one-on-one with their mentor.
