You know what they say: April showers bring... TICKS!
In many parts of the county - after a long Winter, there is nothing like getting outdoors to enjoy the sunshine, the warming temps, the return of the birds... and the anxiety of needing to check yourself, your kids, and your pets thoroughly for those relentless arachnids. When we talk ticks, we have to talk how to address tick bites - what to look for, how to remove them, and how to treat them.
And of course, we have to talk about the other four-letter word. LYME. In this episode, Jase and Dr. Mel dive deep into the topic of ticks and Lyme disease. Dr. Mel has studied ticks and Lyme and great length - having written her final project in naturopathic school on the topic, and working with many clients professionally on natural, holistic approaches to Lyme disease.
Dr. Mel has curated a Tick Bite protocol available on the new Wellness Protocols page of our website.
Visit www.rootedinthewild.org/protocols where you can find the Tick Bite protocol - and check back as we add more wellness protocols to the library.
