Tick Bite Kit
Tick bites are really annoying and can be scary. Personally, I used to be dreadfully frightened of getting a tick bite and the unknowing effects afterwards. The more time I spent outside and in our woods, I came to realize that ticks are just a part of the environment we live in, whether we like it or not.
And so I decided to arm myself with knowledge so that I can remain calm and act swiftly when a pesky bugger attaches itself to me or my family. And all of us (my husband, kids and myself) have had plenty of ticks over the years, with their head already embedded under our skin.
Having this kit on hand in your car, backpack or first aid kit will help you be prepared when you need it most.
Directions:
1. Stay calm. Once you've located the tick, and it is attached (meaning you can't brush it off), remain calm. Panicking will not help.
2. Use tick tweezers, or tick nippers, to carefully remove the tick, with the head in tact. Sometimes I find this easier by putting a couple drops tea tree essential oil on the tick to help it loosen. Once the tick is released, you may wish to save it in a glass jar for testing and identification later (personal preference).
3. Place 2-4 drops of the Topical Tick Bite formula onto the bite location and surrounding area. This powerful combination is anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial and anti-borreliae.
4. Then rub the drawing salve stick onto the bite and surrounding area to help draw out an remaining impurities/irritations. Do this several times a day for a few days.
5. Immune Support Tincture: Take 2 droppers 2x a day for 7-10 days to help support your immune system. This carefully curated blend is meant to help modulate your immune system to reduce infection and inflammation. This can also be taken 1x daily (1 dropper) during tick season to proactively reduce any tick borne illnesses.
This is a custom created protocol for when a tick is attached to the skin.
NOT to be used during pregnancy or nursing.
When working with children, dilute the tincture with a small amount of water or juice.
