Olesya Savelyeva, a senior therapist at JSC “Medicina” (clinic of Academician Roitberg), said that when visiting places where ticks can be, it is best to wear light-colored, long-sleeved clothes.
“Independent and mutual examinations should be carried out during a walk in nature every two hours and one more time at home. Especially carefully it is necessary to examine the areas of the body covered with hair, ”the expert said in an interview with Gazeta.Ru.
As Savelyeva noted, it is important to use repellents when outdoors. At home, clothes and linen should be carefully examined, washed, and dried.
“You can’t leave these clothes near the bed or sleep in them - shaking clothes does not get rid of ticks,” she explained.
Earlier, the head of the scientific and information support group, leading expert of the CMD Center for Molecular Diagnostics of the Central Research Institute of Epidemiology of Rospotrebnadzor Mikhail Lebedev, in an interview with the Izvestia newspaper told what to do in case of a bite from a poisonous snake, as well as wasps or bees.
