Spring is already beginning to be noticeable not only in the calendar, but also in the weather, so tips on parasites that become active in the warm season are becoming relevant again. It is especially important to be careful about ticks, which can transmit dangerous diseases. To avoid parasitic diseases such as Lyme disease and tick-borne encephalitis, it is important to follow some simple rules: Avoid tall grass and bushes — that's where ticks live Wear clothing and shoes that cover your body when you are outdoors After a walk, be sure to check your skin and clothes for ticks If you find a tick, it is best not to remove it yourself, but to contact a medical institution as soon as possible. Even if you have removed the tick yourself, you should still make an appointment to make sure the tick removal does not carry any additional risks, including parasite-borne diseases.
