Centennial, CO Lyme Disease & Tick Bite Treatment in Centennial, CO

Lyme Disease & Tick Bite Treatment Overview

The good news for patients is that AFC Centennial’s comprehensive testing and lyme treatment can mitigate symptoms and lead to improved outcomes for any lyme risks you may have.

If you have any questions, or need lyme disease testing right away. Visit our urgent care center at 8006 E. Arapahoe Rd. Suite 100 in Centennial, CO.

Lyme Disease Prevention Guidelines

Families can take comfort in knowing that lyme disease is one of the most preventable types of seasonal illnesses. Since lyme disease comes directly from tick bites, individuals and families just to take extra caution around potential tick habits and make choices that reduce the possibility of a tick biting you:

• Avoiding heavily wooded areas and forests: When possible, try to avoid areas with a lot of woods, since ticks tend to live in dense woods.
• Always do a tick check when outside: Regardless of where you are, make sure to check your hair, neck, arms, legs, feet, and other visibility areas for ticks.
• Wear protective clothing when camping: If you are camping then you’ll want to bring protective clothing including a hat, lightweight pants, boots, and socks to reduce the chance of ticks.
• Look for any public health updates online and see if there are new tick alerts in your town/community.
