The risk of being bitten by a tick is highest between March and October. Ticks become active as soon as the temperature rises above 7 degrees Celsius. The risk of being bitten by a tick in the autumn or winter is very small. Unfortunately, ticks do reappear during early autumn or mild winter days. A mild winter can cause the number of ticks in spring to increase and with it, the risk of a tick bite. Be alert as soon as temperatures rise and you’re going outside.\u00a0<\/strong> Ticks are spider-like parasites and almost invisible to the naked eye. They survive by feeding on blood from animal and human 'hosts’.<\/p>\n This parasite is incredibly small and attaches itself with little hooks and pierces the skin with a hypostome (drill-like organ). At that moment, the tick is well and truly attached: you will not be able to remove it without using a special tool. It can be dangerous to remove a tick the wrong way: the tick can release its infection in your skin when being removed in the wrong manner. Therefore, always remove a tick with a special tick remover<\/a>. This reduces the risk of infection, such as Lyme disease.<\/p>\n You usually don’t discover a tick until it has attached itself to your skin and gorged itself on blood. Check yourself for ticks after being in grass, bushes or heathland.<\/p>\n Don’t let them bite you. Protect yourself against ticks!<\/strong><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Because the tick comes from below, from bushes, grass and heathland, it is important to protect your feet. It is best to tuck your trousers in your socks. You can do this with regular socks, although ticks will still climb up looking for a place to bite. A better choice is to wear socks impregnated with permethrin. This substance is an insecticide that repels the tick and is harmless to humans. Care Plus\u00ae<\/sup> Bugsox<\/a>\u00a0are an example of impregnated socks. Ticks don’t get a chance to climb up and bite into the skin.\u00a0As soon as they come into contact with the socks, they will let go.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Prevention of a tick bite is better than a cure. With warmer temperatures, ticks start to appear. So thinking about prevention on time is necessary. A tick can be infected with the Borrelia bacteria which can cause Lyme disease. Fortunately, there are plenty of ways to enjoy the outdoors without having to worry.<\/p>\n
