Lyme Disease Preventions for Kids
Disease carrying ticks are still with us. We are enjoying a longer season of warm weather, longer grass cutting season and the ticks are enjoying more time eating warm blooded meals from us and our children. We need to protect ourselves and our children and be more diligent than ever to prevent Lyme disease and other tick borne diseases.
We may think the ticks are gone for the season, think again. I was visiting with a friend today and one of those pesky little ticks was crawling on my face, yuck! I hear because of all the rain and moisture we are going to have more fleas, ticks and mosquitoes.
We wanted you to know about one of our favorites Lyme disease prevention resources. The 5th lesson plan in our new Nurse created health lessons book, “The Singing Nurse: Health Lessons for Kids”, is where you will find it.
The Lyme disease prevention unit includes a tick borne disease fact sheet and letters home to parents. The health lesson also integrates; creating props, letter recognition for young children, singing the catchy tune, “The Tick Song”, doing hand motions, and creating a multimedia presentation.
Lyrics to “The Tick Song” to listen click here
1) Your head may feel achy, your joints may feel shaky
And you may want to cry-wa, wa
2) So your body you check, make sure there’s no tick
Cuz you don’t want to cry-wa, wa
Don’t you get Ehrlichiosis (Ehrlichiosis)
Babesiosis (Babesiosis)
Ehrlichiosis or Babesiosis or Lyme
Break: Stay out of tall grass (wear light colors)
In your socks tuck your pants (wear light colors)
When coming inside check your body every time.
