Keep thinking prevention of tick bites...even as the temps drop! Bites can and do occur year-round. Thanks @insect_shield!
Summer might be winding down, but there's still a bunch of outdoor fun to have. With fuss-free insect repellent tech, Insect Shield keeps the outdoor fun rolling. #insectrepellent bit.ly/3RXScxb

Ticks start small, blow up with blood, then grow into their next life stage and start all over again... See how they do it (bit.ly/larva_to_nymph) @LonnieRhea @adamswendya @RealMalachowski @PestWorld @ticklab @sockibomb13 @insect_shield

We got some clothes treated by @insect_shield so we can have less risk of ticks when doing outdoorsy stuff. I was super pleased by their detail of sewing tags into the treated clothes so that you can identify them easily within your wardrobe.

Dogs can bring hitchhiking ticks into your home or vehicle...protect your canine companions and you! @insect_shield @CAPCVet
Dogs need bug protection too! Grab your pup a new trail dog vest so that you can enjoy the outdoors together. bit.ly/3MbYK8u

Found this black-legged tick with its head stuck in my @insect_shield permethrin-treated sock. Dead as a door nail! My alpha-gal reactions have lessened over time, but new tick bites could make them worse again. Thanks for saving me from this fate, @insect_shield !

We MUST increase the number of people using personal protection measures and improve the measures they use. 100% should be wearing permethrin-treated clothing, NOT <5 to 20%. Grateful to @insect_shield for all they do to drive this number up.
Yes! “In conclusion, personal protection measures to prevent tick bites are used by the public and merit further study to better understand how they need to be used to have the greatest public health impact.” @alphagal_info @LonnieRhea @BayAreaLyme @TickReport @RealMalachowski

It is now Spring but we will still have to deal with some cold weather. Remember, ticks can come out any time the temperature is above freezing. Practice tick prevention year-round. Visit maine.gov/lyme to learn more. #ticks #lyme #outdoors #maine

This thread is about alpha-gal syndrome (AGS) - meat allergy induced by tick bites. I’ve been living with AGS for >2 yrs. I hope this info will help those who suffer from this illness without knowing the cause. Please help bring awareness to #AGS (1/n) resident360.nejm.org/clinica…

Tick bites make AGS worse. The first thing I tell newly diagnosed folks is to check out Insect Shield, which sells the first-ever EPA registered insect repellent apparel and gear and will treat your clothes, too. Wouldn't you want to know about them? 8/ insectshield.com/
