About this listen
Tick bites in Australia are managed differently—and for good reason.
In this episode, we explain what ticks are, where they’re found, what a tick bite looks like, and why the traditional “just pull it out” approach can actually make things worse.
Learn the correct Australian first aid approach, including when to freeze, when to use permethrin, and what to do in remote situations. We also cover the risks of tick allergy and why killing the tick first is critical.
Because when it comes to ticks, the wrong move at the wrong time can increase the danger.
