Instructions

1

Dress properly when traveling outside the city, onpicnic or a walk to the nearby grove. On strolling should be closed clothing with long sleeves, tightly fitting to the skin on the wrists and pants with an elastic band on the bottom or tucked into socks. This way you will not allow the mite to immediately get on the open skin and start your dangerous journey to the "most delicious" places of your body for a bite.

2

Do regular self-examination. Every 20-30 minutes, carefully inspect the outer clothing, because the tick sucks not at once, and it can be completely removed as long as it moves along the fabric. Especially easy to notice the forest "bloodsucker" on clothes of light colors, so it is preferable to wear such things.

3

Inspect yourself completely, if you haveopen areas of the body. Be sure to feel the places with a thin delicate skin: armpits, inguinal areas, skin behind the auricles, as well as the scalp, inner thigh. Do this regularly, because the tick is a "gourmet" and chooses the best places for a bite, sometimes traveling through the body of a person up to 40-60 minutes.

4

Do not enter the grass, but walk on the widePathways, not touching grass, growing along. Since it is on the leaves of grass and shrubs, growing along the favorite places of walks of people and animals, mites are waiting for their victims, and they are difficult to notice, because they are located on the underside of the leaf and usually do not rise above 50-70 cm. In the trees bloodsuckers may find themselves only if they "moved" there on the plumage of a bird.

5

Do not drip on sucking mites with oil orvaseline - a mite, choking, can regurgitate already shed blood from you and increase the chances of infection. Either this bloodsucker can generally suffocate without having had time to leave your body. This is also dangerous, since the longer its jaws are in the victim's body, the more likely it is to infect it. Carefully remove the mite as soon as possible with the help of eyelets from the thread or tweezers twisting movements. Do not forget to put the tick (live or dead) in an airtight container and send it for investigation for encephalitis.

6

Adopt the original invention oftick bites, which are used by inveterate mushroom pickers living in natural foci of tick-borne encephalitis. Buy two pairs of ordinary female kapron dense tights. In the first pair, cut off your feet and make a cut in the area between the pants (usually this place is reinforced with a crotch). Process the sections with nail polish, so that the pantyhose will bloom, letting the "arrows". Obtained in this way, a short "blouse" put on yourself, hands thrust into the resulting "sleeves" -kolgotiny, and the head - in a section between them. This device will save your armpits from the bite of the bloodsucker, and the second pair of tights, worn on legs in the usual way, will serve as a protection for the area under the knees and the groin's skin. The tick can not make a bite through a dense net of pantyhose and looks for a place more pokromneye.

7

Apply when walking in places where possiblepresence of ticks special remedies for these insects. Apply sprays or ointments to clothing or exposed areas of the body as indicated in the attached instructions. These funds are frightened off by ticks and will not allow them to make their sacrifice out of you.

8

However, in exceptional cases, an accelerated vaccination scheme is provided, which can be consulted by a doctor. It is the course of vaccination that gives the best protection against tick-borne encephalitis. However, it is absolutely necessary to perform a revaccination, that is, to vaccinate once, every three years.

Tip 4: How to vaccinate against tick-borne encephalitis

Tick-borne encephalitis is a dangerous viral disease. Occurs after the bite of an infected tick. It flows sharply. A full course of vaccination protects against tick-borne encephalitis in 95% of cases.

Tick-borne encephalitis is an inflammatory diseasethe human brain. Occurs 10-12 days after the bite of a virus infected with a tick. It flows sharply. The body temperature rises to 38-40 degrees. There is a headache, nausea, vomiting, weakness in the limbs and muscles of the neck, numbness of the facial skin, paresis and paralysis. Siberia, the Urals, the Far East, the Volga region, part of the regions of the Central and North-Western (including the city of St. Petersburg) of the federal districts are classified as epidemic in tick-borne encephalitis. Thanks to vaccination, immunity to tick-borne encephalitis virus is developed. Therefore, in vaccinated people after a tick bite, the disease either does not develop, or proceeds in a mild form. You can vaccinate both adults and children (from 12 months). Authorization for vaccination is given by a doctor. Vaccinations are best done in the autumn or winter, when the mites are not too active. Or plan the vaccination so that after the second inoculation passed more than two weeks before the proposed meeting with the tick. There are domestic and imported vaccines, they are interchangeable. Imported vaccines are better tolerated, have fewer contraindications and side effects. Vaccination is usually carried out in three stages. The second inoculation is given after 1-7 or 1-3 months (for imported vaccines) after the first. The third dose is given 9-12 months after the second. Further vaccination every 3 years with the standard dose of the drug. Side effects of vaccination include fever, urticaria, headache, dizziness, short-term loss of consciousness. After the introduction of vaccine for vaccinated, it is recommended to observe for an hour because of the possible development of allergic reactions. Vaccinations are able to protect against tick-borne encephalitis in 95% of cases, but ticks are carriers of other dangerous viruses. Unfortunately, there are no vaccines against these diseases, so even vaccinated people are advised to follow basic measures of prevention of tick bites. When visiting the forest and country site, wear closed shoes, a jacket with long sleeves and trousers. Use drugs that repel ticks. Regularly inspect clothes and body. The tick takes a long time to bite. Do not walk with the child in those places of the park, where last year's foliage and garbage were not cleaned. They especially like mites.
