Totally terrific tick tips!

 🐛🐛🕷🕷🐞🐞Tick To-go Tote🐜🐜🐝🐝

My kiddos go to school on a large farm and spend a considerable amount of time outdoors. We know ticks. We know bugs. Poison ivy...Snakes....bee stings ...Sunburns. I've got a natural Dr. mom remedy for it all. OK, maybe not the snakes!🐍🐍

Here is how we arm ourself against tick season.
1) I spray my kids liberally with our homemade outdoor spray (recipe covered on the blog previously)
2) if said tick is encountered then you just swipe it off. Use a lint roller and roll all over after being outdoors. IF you find a tick embedded inside you then twist it out. Using these twisty tools are super helpful!! Gently lift tick then twist and the barbs of the tick release and come out. Perfect for humans and fur babies! Cheap too!
3) I then take one drop of purification essential oil by Young Living and apply it to the wound AFTER the tick is removed. It cleans it up nicely. NEVER put essential oils onto an embedded tick!
