🕷️ Tick Awareness for The Lakewood RV Resort Campers 🕷️
With summer adventures in full swing, it's important to be aware of ticks while enjoying the outdoors. Blacklegged (deer) ticks are present in our region and can carry Lyme disease.
To help protect yourself and your family:
✔️ Wear light-coloured clothing when hiking or exploring.
✔️ Use insect repellent containing DEET or icaridin.
✔️ Stay on marked trails and avoid tall grass when possible.
✔️ Check yourself, your children, and pets for ticks after spending time outdoors.
When doing a tick check, remember WHAT:
