How to protect yourself from ticks?
There are a few simple rules that everyone can follow to avoid being bitten by
ticks:
- Clothing that securely covers all parts of the body, especially arms and legs;
- Headwear;
- Closed and tall shoes, or pants tucked in;
- Light-colored clothing that makes the tick easier to see;
- Treating exposed skin with repellent;
- Inspecting yourself and your loved ones every half hour;
- Avoid picking flowers, twigs and plants.
And remember: if you find a tick on your skin, you must immediately go to the nearest trauma center, where you will receive first aid, and the parasite to submit to the laboratory to find out whether it is a vector of disease.
