What are ticks?

Ticks belong to the class of arachnids. The common wood tick is particularly widespread here. This species is responsible for most tick bites in humans and animals.

They prefer to live in:
- tall grass
- Bushes
- Forest edges
- Parks and gardens

Contrary to a common myth, ticks do not fall from trees - they usually sit in low vegetation and can be brushed off as you walk past.

Why quick removal is so important

Ticks can transmit pathogens, including:
- TBE (tick-borne encephalitis) - a viral disease
- Lyme disease - a bacterial disease

Ticks transmit diseases through their saliva. This enters our bloodstream after they bite or sting us. Ticks release their saliva into our bloodstream before and during bloodsucking. They do this to prevent premature coagulation (clotting) of the blood and to get rid of excess fluid. This can lead not only to the transmission of diseases but also to inflammation in the host's body (humans and animals).

Hence the statement: the longer a tick sucks, the higher the risk of transmission (especially in the case of Lyme disease).

Therefore, remove ticks as early and correctly as possible.
