STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. - 'Tis sezon an pou tik.

Tcheke tibebe ou osi souvan posib oubyen omwen omwen nan fen chak jou. Li pa travay si li kenbe moun nou renmen yo an sekirite soti nan mal. Li sèlman pran yon minit yo gade yo sou, men li la vo tan an.

Ki kote ou gade lè tcheke pou tik? Dyagram ki anba a ta dwe ede. Si ou ba yo yon bon fwote apre yo fin deyò, ou yo pral kapab santi yo.

Sèvi ak yon nèg tik ka ede tou. Men kèk opsyon pou bèt domèn ou.

• Best natural tick repellent (for doubling up): 100% natural with lemon and eucalyptus extract.
