From November 2 to 8, two children suffered from ticks, and just during the season, 2,445 residents applied to medical organizations of the region for suction. This “MK in Pskov” reported in the Department of Rospotrebnadzor in the Pskov region.
Ticks remain active until the average daily temperature is above +5. +7 ° C, and short-term frosts do not “turn them off”, they hide in the litter and wait for the thaw.
In November, people are less likely to be in the forest, but ticks remain on the edges, along paths, in the thickets of last year’s grass, near suburban areas and in city parks. In autumn, there are fewer open areas of the body, which creates a false sense of security, the tick can crawl under clothes and be noticed late.
Experts advise in nature to use repellents, wear tight clothes with cuffs and examine yourself and children every 1-2 hours, and after returning to conduct a full examination of the body and clothing.
If the tick sucked, you should not remove it yourself, you need to contact the emergency room or medical institution, where it will be removed, if necessary, prescribe prevention and organize a study on pathogens of infections.
