To reduce the risk of tick bites, health officials recommend people wear long-sleeved shirts tucked into light-colored pants, tucked into socks when in grassy or wooded areas. 

If you find a tick attached to your skin, experts advise to put rubbing alcohol on it as soon as possible to kill the tick, and then remove it. 

Ticks can pose a lot of problems, including some unexpected and rare health diseases.
