Warmer first spring months, draw more active!

After the dark, wet, and chilly winter months, we are eager to enjoy the first rays of spring sunshine. The website tekenradar.nl warns that ticks are emerging from hibernation earlier because the first months of the year have been warmer than normal.

First reports already received

Dozens of reports of tick bites and Lyme disease infections have already been received. Figures from the RIVM (National Institute for Public Health and the Environment) show that people suffer 1.5 million tick bites each year. Not every tick is infected. Approximately 27,000 people contract Lyme disease, of whom 1,000 to 1,500 suffer long-term symptoms.

Although ticks are most active in the summer, it is wise to be aware of how to avoid them in the spring and fall as well. Tick bite can prevent. Cover body parts with long sleeves and pants legs and a cap or hat. Also use, for example, TeekawayA 100% natural product to apply to your skin. This product contains essential oils that ticks dislike, reducing the risk of a bite.
