Summer evenings outside mean more bug bites and tick encounters. After outdoor play, do a quick tick check - especially around the scalp, ears, underarms, and behind the knees. Use insect repellent appropriate for your child's age, and check labels for proper concentration. If you find a tick, remove it promptly with tweezers, grasping close to the skin. 🌿 https://www.readingpediatrics.com/is-your-child-sick/Tick-Bite #SummerSafety #TickCheck #OutdoorPlay #PediatricCare
