Sylvia DiBiase went on a lovely walk in the woods with her son one Sunday afternoon and the following day, she faced what many parents dread: she found a tick on her child. "My son mentioned that he had an itchy spot on his head. I parted his hair at his hairline and right away, I saw it," she says. "My heart sank and I tried to pretend that everything was okay, but I was totally freaking out inside.

If you find a tick on your child, Dr. Fradin says not to panic. "Take some photos in good light and with the focus on the head and neck of the tick. Also, take photos of the entire tick." Photos are helpful for identifying the type of tick later.
