В Роспотребнадзоре рассказали о главных мерах защиты от клещей

The Russian Federal Service for Surveillance on Consumer Rights Protection (Rospotrebnadzor) has outlined key measures for protection against ticks. These recommendations aim to prevent tick-borne diseases, which become more prevalent during warmer months. The agency emphasizes the importance of personal protective measures when visiting natural areas, such as forests and parks. This includes wearing appropriate clothing that covers exposed skin and using repellents specifically designed to deter ticks. Additionally, Rospotrebnadzor advises on proper procedures for checking oneself and pets for ticks after outdoor activities and what steps to take if a tick bite occurs.

These measures are crucial for public health as they help prevent the spread of serious tick-borne illnesses like Lyme disease and tick-borne encephalitis.
