Why can't I use my dog's tick prevention medicine?
The treatment isn't toxic to us, but it still wouldn't work very well.

Tick season is in full swing, which means the tiny pinhead buggers are likely lurking in the tall grass along your hiking trail or clinging to the overgrown bushes in the woods by your home. For humans, regular tick checks are part of the summer routine. For furry hiking companions, though, there’s a far simpler strategy: products like Frontline and Advantix go on once, and protect against pests for an entire month.
Unfortunately, no similar products exist for humans—we don't have one-time use methods that can keep the bugs at bay for an extended time. But they seem to work so well for our canine best friends, so why don’t we have them?
