For seniors it can be very complicated to see them and recognize that the tiny insect has attached itself to their skin. The best thing for seniors to do is to learn skin care in San Jose tips to protect their themselves from ticks and fleas. Ticks have a single body with eight legs.

Before coming from the outside make sure you inspect yourself all over to make sure ticks have not attached to your clothing. When coming inside remove all your clothing and put them in a special pile away from your other clothes. Check your body all over for ticks.
