There are no vaccines or medications to prevent most mosquito or tick-borne diseases. The best protection is avoiding bites.

Protect Yourself Outdoors:

    1. Use insect repellent
    2. Wear long sleeves and pants
    3. Treat clothing and gear with permethrin
    4. Stay on trails and avoid tall grass and brush
