První zprávy Tv Prima: Jak se chránit před klíšťaty

In the Czech Republic, besides the Hyalomma tick, which actively hunts its prey, more dangerous local species like the ornate dog tick (Dermacentor reticulatus) and the common tick (Ixodes ricinus) are also present. The main risk transmitted by ticks is tick-borne encephalitis (TBE), which can leave permanent health consequences. In this regard, doctors strongly recommend vaccination as an effective form of prevention. Furthermore, it is important to use repellents when outdoors to protect against tick bites. If a tick attaches itself, it is essential to remove it as quickly and correctly as possible using tweezers. After removing the tick, it is crucial to thoroughly disinfect the bite area to prevent infection. These measures help protect health from the risks associated with ticks.
