I found a tick on my child!!!  What should I do?  First of all, take a deep breath and do not panic.  Staying in control of the situation will prevent further stress to your child.  It is important to remove the tick as soon as possible.   Afterwards you can determine whether your child has contracted any diseases associated with ticks such as Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever.
