[quote=Anonymous]What I do as a parent of kids that attend Half Blood and one who has had Lyme disease is spray their sneakers with permethrin spray (recoat every 2 weeks) and coat them in bug spray every morning. They also know they have to shower every night. It's not fail-proof for sure but the tradeoff is worth it for us. One thing I learned after our bout with Lyme is that if you find a tick that's been on for more than 24 hours, you can take a single dose of doxycycline as a preventative. I will warn you that in my experience around here though doctors aren't very knowledgeable about Lyme (and we/my kid never found the tick that gave him Lyme). Still, worth it all to be outside!
