Warmer first spring months, ticks become active earlier!

After the dark, wet, chilly winter months, we are eager to enjoy the first spring sun. The websitetekenradar.nl warns that ticks come out of hibernation earlier because the first months of the year have been warmer than normal.

First reports already received

Dozens of reports have already been received of tick bites and infections with Lyme disease. Figures from the RIVM show that people suffer 1.5 million tick bites every year. Not every tick is infected. Approximately 27,000 people develop Lyme disease, of whom 1,000 to 1,500 suffer long-term complaints.

Although ticks are most active in the summer, it is wise to be aware of how to prevent a tick bite in spring and autumn as well. Cover body parts with long sleeves and trouser legs and a cap or hat. In addition, use Teekaway, a 100% natural product, to apply to your skin. This product contains essential oils that ticks hate. This reduces the chance of a bite.

Go prepared

With our First Aid Set you will be well prepared. It contains four products that you can use immediately for a tick bite: a tick card to properly remove the tick (just like a tick pincer), Teekaway, Wandelrood ointment with natural ingredients for the bite site, and Teasel tincture.

It is also good to ensure that your resistance is up to standard. With a healthy and vital body you have less chance that an infection will manifest itself in complaints due to Lyme. Your mindset is also important. Don't let that stop you from fully enjoying the nature around you!
