A tick removal kit should be a staple in your house this spring

Tick season is a bit less frightening when you’re prepared with a tick removal tool

Spring may be the season for warming weather and blooming flowers, but that’s not all that emerges this time of year. Unfortunately, it’s also when ticks are extremely active, particularly in wooded areas. Not only do these parasitic arachnids give you the creeps, but ticks can carry an array of diseases.

You may not be able to avoid ticks this spring, but you can be prepared if one does bite you or embed itself in your skin.
