Yes. The best way to prevent Lyme disease is to avoid getting bitten by a tick. But if you were already bitten and have tick more than 36 hours attached to your body, your doctor might give you an antibiotic for prevention. In some situations, this can reduce your chances of getting Lyme disease. To try to avoid getting bitten by a tick, you should: • Wear long sleeved shirts and long pants • Wear bug repellents that protect you against ticks. • Wear light color clothes that you can see any ticks on your clothes • Check your clothes after being outdoors for ticks specially groins, waist, armpits, and back of knees. • Put the clothes for about 5 minutes on dryer. • Shower within 2 hours after coming from hiking and being in outdoor, if you think you are living in an area with high rate of Lyme like our state. • If you live in a place that has deer or mice nearby, make sure to keep those animals away because deer and mice carry ticks.
