As soon as it gets warm outside the window, there is a natural desire to spend more time outside - go to a picnic, take a walk in the park or forest, or just go with the children to the playground. However, in the warm season, it is important to remember about the vectors of encephalitis, which are almost invisible to the eye, but are dangerous, blood-sucking insects that inspire fear. Ticks can lie in wait not only on the street, but also at home. You can and should fight it, the main thing is to know how.

Before going for a walk, it is important to remember that in the forest, in the park, and in other places where there is abundant vegetation, there is a risk of tick attack. You need to prepare for each trip, especially if you are going with children. Various sprays and the most closed clothing are the very first measures of protection.
Step 2
No mites - neither encephalitis nor scabies, can withstand high rates on a thermometer. Experts noted that they feel most relaxed and comfortable at temperatures from 22 to 25 degrees. When the indicators reach 60 Celsius, the ticks die, as this is completely unbearable conditions for them for life. However, even at this temperature, insects do not die immediately, but only within an hour. But ticks can die immediately when the temperature drops below 0.
Step 3
At home, parasites can be found both on clothes and in pillows and blankets, and it is from there that they get on the skin. Be sure to wash your hands and avoid contact with people and animals (infected). Bed linen must be handled correctly.
Step 4

Step 5
At room temperatures, ticks that live outside the body of a person or animal will die in a few days, it is for this reason that they crawl under the skin, since only in this way can they avoid death. Therefore, it is very important to carry out timely prevention not only of all family members, including animals, but also to properly care for things.
