What to do after a tick bite ⬇️

• Remove the tick promptly with fine-tipped tweezers
• Clean the area with soap and water
• Save the tick if possible for identification
• Watch for symptoms like fever, rash, fatigue, or joint pain
• Seek medical care if symptoms appear or the tick was attached for a long time

Save the tick and place it in a plastic bag for testing. Store it in the refrigerator.
