Happy summer to everyone. We are busier than ever with routine health supervision visits, but here to help with any other concerns you might have.
SUNSCREEN – It is very important to prevent sunburn. You don’t need to be at a beach or pool. Anytime you are outdoors for an extended period of time, please apply and reapply every hour. SPF 30-50 should be sufficient.
Lyme Disease – Because of our mild winter, this is proving to be a very “bad” tick season. The best way to prevent Lyme Disease or any other tick borne illness is to wear appropriate clothing when in tall grass or woods, use insect repellent (DEET 33% or less) and perform thorough tick checks at the end of the day.
Best wishes for a happy and healthy summer.
