Caution, ticks!

      The season is in full swing. We explain preventive measures. How to protect yourself from ticks? ➡️ Choose light-colored clothing with cuffs and tight fasteners to make ticks easily visible. ➡️ Use repellents before going to the forest, don't forget to treat your backpack and tent. ➡️ Check yourself, children, and pets every 1.5–2 hours. ➡️ After walks, laundry your clothes, as ticks can remain in folds. Vaccination: If you often visit endemic regions' forests, get vaccinated against tick-borne encephalitis. ❓ What to do if a tick still bites? — If you find a attached tick on your body, it is advised to consult a trauma center for its removal. — If you decide to remove the tick yourself, place it in a container with a damp cotton pad. This material can then be sent to an accredited laboratory for testing. Be attentive outdoors so that only pleasant memories remain from your walk. Rospotrebnadzor explains
