Dealing with a Tick Bite on a Child

Jeremiah had an unwanted hitch hiker that needed to be taken care of quickly🕷 ⠀ We have always heard to be careful with ticks but have not ever dealt with them before. I noticed a mole on Jeremiah's neck that wasn't there before and tried to wipe it off thinking it was mud. Definitely wasn't mud 😱 ⠀ We did a quick Google search and watched a few videos on how to properly remove the tick. 5 minutes later it was removed and in a plastic bag and we washed his neck. ⠀ It was a male dog tick according to the internet. We will keep a close eye on him over the next few days. Kind of scary how easily it got on him. This is your friendly reminder to check your kids, spouse, and dogs for ticks frequently. ⠀ What do you use for tick prevention?
