If you spend time outside in the spring and summer… this matters more than you think. 🌿
May is Lyme Disease Awareness Month, and after years in the wellness world, I can tell you this: Lyme disease is NO joke.
Ticks are no longer just a “deep woods” problem. People are getting exposed while gardening, walking the dog, sitting at soccer games, hiking, playing tennis, working in the yard, and even just walking through tall grass. Mosquito bites can also expose us to other infections that leave the immune system overwhelmed and inflamed.
One of the easiest prevention tools I personally use? Treating clothing with permethrin spray.
In this video I’m showing you how I spray down:
✔️ sneakers
✔️ socks
✔️ hiking clothes
✔️ gardening gear
✔️ outdoor jackets
The key is to spray OUTSIDE, let items fully dry, and create a barrier BEFORE exposure.
Why am I so passionate about prevention?
Because many people dealing with chronic fatigue, brain fog, joint pain, strange neurological symptoms, histamine issues, digestive problems, anxiety, insomnia, headaches, or mystery inflammation never connect it back to a tick bite they barely noticed years ago.
I’ve seen Lyme disease completely change people’s quality of life.
And the scary part? The classic “bullseye rash” doesn’t happen for everyone.
This isn’t fear mongering. It’s smart prevention.
Simple habits matter:
• daily tick checks
• showering after outdoor exposure
• supporting your immune system
• wearing protective clothing
• reducing standing water around your home
• using safe prevention strategies when outdoors
Especially if you live in the Northeast, spend time outdoors, or have pets bringing ticks into the house.
Protecting your health is easier than trying to rebuild it later.
Save this for summer hiking season ☀️
