🧼 Step 2: Clean & Disinfect
Wash hands thoroughly.
Disinfect the area where the tick was found (floors, furniture, bedding) with soap and water or disinfectant.
If found on bedding or clothing, wash in hot water and dry on high heat (ticks die at temps >130°F/54°C).
🔍 Step 3: Search for More (But Don’t Panic)
Check pets, family members, and areas near entry points (doors, windows, baseboards).
Ticks often drop off after feeding or get carried in on shoes, clothing, or animals.
One tick ≠ infestation. True indoor tick infestations are extremely rare (only certain species like the brown dog tick can reproduce indoors—and even then, it’s uncommon).
