Have you been outside? Check for ticks

Ticks are very small and look like spiders. They live mostly in bushes and grass. A tick in your skin gives you a small chance of catching a disease.

If you have been outside, check for ticks:

Check your whole body. Don't forget your armpits, groin, hollows of the knees and buttock.
In children, also look carefully on the head and behind the ears. And on the neck where the hairs start.

Do you or your child have a tick?

Then remove the tick immediately with pointed tweezers.
Then clean the wound with alcohol.
Write down the date and location of the body.
Check the rest of your body to see if you have any more ticks.
