Disease-carrying ticks are found in all 50 states in the U.S. Defending your family's health against tick-borne infections requires a proactive approach. Chesney offers a comprehensive strategy for reducing exposure to disease-causing organisms and boosting the effectiveness of standard treatment protocols. He provides strategies for preventing tick bites; shares the six steps you need to take after you're bitten; and tells you how to create your own tick-bite preparedness kit.
