May holidays are the time of picnics and mass migration of people "to nature". If you are going to spend time outdoors, do not forget to protect your skin not only from the harmful effects of UV rays, but from parasites, because the bite of an ordinary tick threatens disability and can even be fatal to humans.
Every 5th tick, researched last year, turned out to be infected with borrelia - microorganisms that can cause severe pathologies and disability. You need to be wary of ticks from April to September. Most often they are found in coniferous forests, ravines and on roadsides. Ticks threaten humans with Lyme disease, Marseille fever and viral encephalitis. The disease can lead to deafness, paralysis, and even death.
To protect yourself from ticks, you must adhere to certain rules of behavior in nature:
- prefer light-coloured clothing with sleeves limit the use of protective sprays as they can themselves cause an allergic reaction
- Use essential oils that repel insects
- If a tick gets under your skin, see a doctor.
If there is no way to contact a specialist, try to remove the tick yourself. To do this, it is necessary to lubricate the place with vegetable oil, this will facilitate the removal of the tick. This must be done with a napkin, thread or tweezers. After removing the tick, it is necessary to lubricate the place with an antiseptic.
