Ticks dislike this natural oil
In the summer months of June and July, we experience the greatest burden of ticks, and figures show that the number of tick bites in humans is increasing every year. Are you going for a walk in the woods soon? Then it is important to monitor your body for tick bites. Would you prefer to prevent it, rather than cure it? Then use this natural oil before entering the habitat of these nasty critters.
Tick bites
The months of June and July are not the only times when ticks are common. Due to climate change, ticks remain active longer, and they can also be seen in the months before and after the summer. Therefore, always check your body carefully after a walk in a forest. If bitten by a tick, you may be carrying Lyme disease. Have you found a tick somewhere on your body? If so, make sure you remove it safely.
Essential oil to prevent ticks
However, prevention is often better than cure. Therefore, we should heed the advice of rangers, who have been using natural tea tree oil for years to prevent ticks. This essential oil can be added to your shower product, which you can then wash yourself with before going into a forest or wooded area. The oil is suitable for people, but can be toxic or even fatal to pets and animals. Eucalyptus and lemon oil are not dangerous for pets, and can be used as an alternative to tea tree oil.
Prevention is, of course, better than the cure. Do you have a tick? Then read the next page on how to remove a tick.
