🚨 TICK CHECKS ARE SO IMPORTANT — AND HERE’S WHY! 🕷️
One thing we hear time and time again from our clients at Lunar Waves Wellness Center who are dealing with Lyme disease?
“I NEVER SAW A TICK ON ME!”
And honestly, it makes sense.
Did you know that the tiny deer tick nymph responsible for many Lyme infections can be about the size of a poppy seed? 😳
Let that sink in for a minute.
These little ticks can be so incredibly small that you may not even realize you’ve been bitten. They can go unnoticed on your skin, especially if you aren’t doing thorough tick checks after being outdoors.
💙 You don’t have to remember a tick bite to have Lyme disease.
We’ve heard this from so many of our clients. They don’t remember a bite. They never found a tick. They may not recall ever having the classic bull’s-eye rash.
That’s why awareness matters!
🌿 MAKE TICK CHECKS A DAILY HABIT
After spending time outside, even in your own backyard:
✔️ Check your scalp and around your hairline.
✔️ Look behind your ears and around your neck.
✔️ Check under your arms and around your waist.
✔️ Inspect your belly button.
✔️ Check behind your knees and between your legs.
✔️ Examine your entire body, clothing, and outdoor gear.
✔️ Don’t forget your pets! They can bring ticks inside, too.
Shower soon after coming indoors, and remove any attached tick promptly. If you develop symptoms such as fever, fatigue, headache, joint pain, or a rash after possible tick exposure, contact a healthcare professional—even if you never saw a tick. Early recognition and appropriate treatment matter.
Here in Pennsylvania, tick awareness is especially important. Our state has a significant burden of Lyme disease, and these tiny ticks are easy to miss.
At Lunar Waves Wellness Center, we believe education and awareness are powerful tools. Our clients’ experiences remind us why it’s so important to ask questions, pay attention to our bodies, and seek answers when something doesn’t feel right.
💙 Share this with someone you love. It could be a reminder they need!
