When they do so, health authorities advise that it very important to remove the tick as soon as possible to prevent tickborne diseases such as Lyme disease. To facilitate that, PureGard has developed a Complete Bug \u0026amp; Tick Response Kit, which includes specialized tools to safely remove and confine the offending parties and to sterilize and soothe the bites.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-note\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"prod-title\"\u003eProduct Notes:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin: 25px; float: right;\"\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/u5qvg2ee8_c?si=aRUBdT7fTdAYAEwM\" height=\"225\" width=\"400\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe founder of PureGard (née AtlanTICK) has been walking in the Nova Scotian woods her whole life and knows more about dealing with ticks than pretty much anyone alive, particularly after her two boys contracted Lyme disease from some in 2016.
