There are already 14 victims in the Stolin region. Since the beginning of the year, 14 people have sought medical attention in the Stolin district with tick bites. The tick season is in full swing! Remember: ticks lurk not only in dense forests, but also in summer cottages, city parks, and on the banks of rivers and lakes. Here's how to avoid becoming a tick victim: 1. Dress properly: wear light-colored clothing, tuck trousers into socks, and cover your head with a hood or scarf. 2. Use protection: apply acaricides or repellents to your clothing. 3. Inspect yourself: take breaks during your walk every 2 hours to inspect your clothing and skin. 4. Maintain your yard: mow the grass regularly. What should you do if bitten? See a doctor as soon as possible. Remember the "72-hour rule"—taking your doctor's prescribed medications for the first three days guarantees protection against dangerous infections (Lyme borreliosis and encephalitis)! Take care of yourself and your health!
