Measures to Protect Children from Tick Bites

▪ Wearing long-sleeved shirts, long pants tucked into long socks (socks should be
pulled up over the pant legs), and a hat when walking in tick-infested areas
▪ Wearing light-colored clothing to make ticks more visible if they get onto the
child
▪ Checking children for the presence of ticks after being in high-risk or tick-
infested areas
▪ Following paths rather than walking in tall grass and shrub areas, because these
are the places where most ticks are found
