To avoid a tick bite, it is recommended to:
- Stay on marked paths as much as possible and avoid contact with bushes or tall grass.
- Wear covering clothes (trousers in socks, long sleeves, ...), as well as closed shoes.
- Wear light-coloured clothing, which makes it easier to spot ticks.
- Use a repellent such as DEET on exposed skin.
Being outside, moving around and enjoying nature is good for your health and morale! So make sure you get outside! Since no preventive measure is 100% effective, inspecting the whole body for ticks is still necessary.
