To help you navigate this common issue, we’d like to start by going over some common tick-related myths. Let’s take a look.

Common Tick Myths Debunked

Here are four common myths about ticks that we would like to clear up:

• Use petroleum jelly, dish soap, or fire to remove ticks. If a tick has attached itself to you, applying anything prior to removal is unnecessary. In fact, this can even make things worse, as it may cause the tick to panic and release more of its gut contents into the bite. All you need to do is grab a pair of tweezers and carefully pull the tick out, making sure to get the entire body.
• Take antibiotics to prevent tick-borne illness. If a tick bites you, consult a doctor immediately and follow their advice. Many people simply assume that antibiotics are the solution and proceed without medical guidance; however, unnecessary use of antibiotics is something that should always be avoided.
• Have the tick that bites you tested for Lyme disease. Sure, you could go through the trouble of having the tick tested for Lyme disease, but this test will not tell you whether or not you were infected.
• If you catch Lyme disease, you’ll have it for life. Antibiotics can be used to treat Lyme disease successfully. And while there are some cases of long-term complications, these usually resolve within one year.
