He provides strategies for preventing tick bites; shares the six steps you need to take after you're bitten; and tells you how to create your own tick-bite preparedness kit. He explains the symptoms, testing, and treatment of tick-borne diseases, and provides a color visual guide for identifying the ticks and rashes. -- adapted from back cover |
