Tick Bites And Essential Oils




Summer is just upon us and many of us enjoy being outdoors. But, everyone needs to be diligent in protecting ourselves, and family from being lunch for "ticks". Our furry friends are not the only ones that need protection. It is important when, after coming in from outside to inspect yourself for ticks. 


Tick bites carry Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain Fever, tick bites can go unnoticed, so it is important to protect yourself as they can hide easily without detection. During the summer and spring be vigilant. There are essential oils that can  be worn to protect yourself when outdoors.

If you aren't fond of those sprays for protection why not try these essential oils.
Cedar or citrus scent essential oils can be applied to the skin and act as a protective disinfectant, since our sweat gives off a scent to the tick these oils will mask it.
