One of the smartest things to do with lyme disease is employ methods that help you to refrain from contracting the disease. Here are a few basic rules of thumb that come to mind when the topic is lyme disease prevention.

Lyme disease is often carried by deer ticks, birds, and other forms of wildlife. The easiest way to contract lyme disease is to be in a wooded area without proper protection. The first rule of lyme disease prevention is to dress properly when camping or walking in the woods. Make sure you wear a long sleeved shirt, with the sleeves rolled down and the cuffs fastened. Tuck the shirt securely into your jeans or pants. Always wear socks and footwear that is secure, rather than sandals or other open toed options. The less exposed skin that you have, the better the chances that a tick will be unable to attach to you without your knowledge.

Using insect repellant when outside is also a basic form of lyme disease prevention. While the repellant does not kill the ticks, it does tend to stop them from being attracted to your person. Just about any brand of the repellant will work just fine, from basic mosquito repellant to something stronger. Apply a thin layer to your face and neck, as well as to your hands. Also, a quick spray on your shirt, jeans, and shoes would not be out of order.

It is important to note that lyme disease prevention is necessary even if a walk in the woods is not forthcoming. Migratory birds can transmit the disease, and deer ticks can find their way onto household pets and back into the city. Keeping your property sprayed from time to time, as well as making sure your dog or cat is not playing host to a deer tick, will go a long way toward making your lyme disease prevention program effective and successful.
