In addition, the Xodek tick can «Award» and in such a disease like Lyme disease (Limeborreliosis, tick-borne borreliosis).
Cleaning encephalitis - a disease caused by a tick-borne encephalitis virus, in which the central nervous system is affected with the development of paralysis and paresis. In severe cases, death is possible.

Such places most often there are tender and warm skin. Considering the fact that the speed of movement of the tick is not high, more often inspect the clothes and unprotected areas of the skin during parking lots.
It is necessary to periodically protrude clothing. When stopping for the night, do not forget about the tent, which is necessary to inspect before the onset of twilight.

At home, it is recommended to remove the tick in different ways, including «Dedovsky». These methods include:
First method. Take up ticks tweezers, trying to grab the very place of contact, and try to get it rotational movements. This method provides for physical pressure on the parasite, which, as already mentioned it is extremely not desirable.
Second way.
Removing tick thread. To do this, it is necessary to draw an ordinary thread between the body of the injured and the torso tick, make the thread a couple of revolutions, so that it turns out the loop. Looping slightly tighten on the neck of the insect, then fold the ends of the thread and start twist them with two fingers.

If all is bad, immediately go to the clinic to the infectious doctor. Considering the short incubation period of diseases, it is not worth a break: your health is your health, your life.
