Best Question:
What should we do to prevent tick bites this summer?
With tick season already in swing and getting longer each year, prevention matters more than ever, especially for staff working outdoors. This season got off to an early start, and while it looked like it might have been slowing down a bit, it’s picking back up in a big way. There’s no doubt that we’re very much in the thick of tick season, and will be for a few months.
One of the most effective (and underused) defenses is permethrin-treated clothing. It’s odorless, safe for humans, and can kill ticks on contact. You can buy pre-treated gear or spray permethrin on uniforms yourself (just do it outdoors and let it dry fully before wearing).
For any outdoor workers, provide EPA-approved insect repellents, remind them to tuck pants into socks when working in tall grass, and to do full-body tick checks when they get home after outdoor work.
And remember: ticks aren’t just a hiking issue anymore. They’re now common in city parks and residential areas, so any team member working outside should be looped in. Provide uniforms with long pants and sleeves, and make sure there’s plenty of repellent for anyone working outside, even if it’s just on our back patio. What works for ticks works for mosquitoes, which can carry plenty of other not-so-fun diseases, so it’s a good investment. Stay safe out there!
In the past, stigma and shame have actually backfired in public health - like discouraging people from seeking testing or care. But they’re back in the everyday language of public health now, with a renewed focus on individual responsibility.
