How to protect yourself from tick bites
Ticks can be carriers of dangerous diseases – tick-borne encephalitis and borreliosis.
Infection can turn into a real tragedy for a person. Therefore, it is important to avoid being bitten and also to take measures to detect the parasite in time.
Therapist Olesya Savelyeva told Gazeta.ru more about this.
She recommended that when visiting a forest, park or any other outing, special attention should be paid to your wardrobe.
You should wear light, solid-colored clothing with long sleeves and close-fitting clothing. This will make ticks easy to spot.
You also need to protect your head, which means you can’t do without a cap or hat.
Every couple of hours you should check for insects. Particular attention should be paid to examining areas of the body that are covered with hair.
At home, immediately after returning, you need to examine the body, change clothes and underwear. At the same time, things should be immediately sent to the wash, but you can’t leave them lying by the bed.
