The call of nature. You can hear him, right? Everything has finally turned green, the birds are singing, poplars (damn them) and apple trees are blooming, and it's getting harder to stay in the city. And so on weekends, huge crowds of people go on barbecue picnics and fazenda cottages to enjoy nature and feed the various bloodsuckers who inhabit it.
And, as you know, Count Dracula (Pattinson-be-he-too-wrong, your boss, mother—in-law and father-in-law - underline) It has absolutely nothing to do with it. I'm talking about completely different lovers of drinking human blood — mosquitoes and ticks. And if the first ones in our latitudes do not cause much concern (in the worst case, you will itch), then ticks are a completely different matter.
May and June are the time when there are countless hordes of these small forest, field, meadow and park (yes, yes, there are them in cities too, don't relax!) robbers wake up hungry and therefore angry and active, like a mid-level manager under a deadline. They are found everywhere — in the thicket of the forest (bushes also count), and in the soft May grass. They attack us at any time of the day, in any weather (although they obviously like wet weather better). They cling to clothes, wool (I told you to shave regularly!) and the hair gets into the most intimate places (where the skin is thinner) and sticks tightly.
At the same time, in addition to the unpleasant awareness of yourself as someone's food, you face a pretty good chance of catching very unpleasant diseases - lyme borelliosis (Lyme disease) and tick-borne encephalitis, which are carried by unclean insects.
However, not everything is so gloomy. What to do to avoid being bitten (or to minimize the trouble if you do get caught by ticks) We'll tell you — there's nothing complicated about it.
The best protection is prevention
To protect yourself and your loved ones, you don't have to run to the nearest market and try to get army chemical protection suits from under the floor — they will save you, of course, but using such insect repellents is comparable to a tank hunt for a desert jerboa. Better remember the following simple rules:
Be patient and try not to appear where hungry ticks like to be. In any case, wait until they are satisfied after a hungry and long (certainly not otherwise) winter with other warm—blooded animals - various forest animals, cattle and your more impatient homo sapiens cousins. In the second half of July and August, the activity of ticks decreases, and the risk decreases accordingly.
