It is better to prevent tick bites than to be prepared to literally
yank it away from your hairy skin with a tweezer. Yalk!!
Apart from dealing with the fact that you have been bitten by ticks, you also need to be more worried about the disease that this ugly looking parasite can infect you with.
One popular disease that ticks transmit to humans is Lyme disease.
Lyme disease is a bacterial infection transmitted by ticks caused by Borrelia Burgdorferi.
This disease affects humans just like Borrelia Mayonii disease and Babesiosis disease all transmitted by ticks.
So next time you want to step out of your home to areas known to have ticks, pause for few minutes and prepare your own home made tick repellant spray using readily available kitchen ingredients like
1. Apple Cider Vinegar
What to do:
Mix about 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar with 1 cup of water
Add any of the following essential oils; Tea Tree Oil, Almond oil or Jojoba Oil. Peppermint essential oil may also be used.
Whichever essential oil you choose simply add 1 tablespoon of it to the mixture.
Shake well and pour into a clean spray bottle.
This can be sprayed on your skin, clothing, pets and any area that may be exposed to ticks.
2. Lemon Juice and Cinnamon
Cut open 1 green lemon. Squeeze out the juice and add 1 tablespoon of Cinnamon powder.
Add 1 cup of water and shake well.
Pour mixture in a clean spray bottle.
