Summer is here and that means more time spent outdoors. Whether you choose to relax on a patio, exercise with a long hike, enjoy yourself in the garden or head to the cottage to get away from it all, spending time enjoying the warm summer weather is what summer is all about. However, there are risks and things to watch out for when you’re enjoying the summer. One of these risks is tick bites. Ticks are small arachnids that vary in size and are very difficult to spot with the naked eye. They feed on blood and sometimes bite people. While they can be active throughout the year, the risk of getting bitten by a tick is the highest in the spring and summer.

Here are some tips to help keep you and your family safe this summer:
