I know that I'm attracted to ticks, but after a night in the woods, I found eight ticks on my body, and I'm pretty worried, especially since my vaccination has expired. Before I make it sound worse than it is, I'd be interested to know how many you had at the same time and what the outcome was.

Loading...Unfortunately, I have a pretty bad infestation of these bugs! I've already set out bait, but they're still there. I have a cat, so I haven't used any sprays because I'm afraid she'll get poisoned. I regularly remove the eggs, check areas where there's a lot of paper, and have sealed cracks, but they haven't…
They always say that you should throw away food that has flies on it, but wasps crawl around in the trash too, don't they? I got some fish rolls from the bakery, do wasps go there too?
Hi, I saw a strange insect at home yesterday. It just flew through the window. Can someone please tell me what it is? Thanks in advance! Lisa1545
On the way home I discovered what are the creatures actually called https://streamable.com/1rad2n
This is totally different depending on where you move. You can assume that on a forest path where many people walk, even if there is a little grass in the middle, there are hardly or no ticks. But if you go a way where rarely someone goes, and where maybe many animals are uninterrupted you can suddenly take 8-9 pieces of it home. My son had so many.
You’re not the target group of the tick. The tick bites you and you’ll kill her. So man is more an enemy than a host for the tick. Where many people are, there are also fewer animals, the actual food source for ticks.
Thanks, actually, man is a misconduct.
Thanks, a new word I didn’t know yet. 😉
I always have ticks, approx. 1-2 per year, it cannot be avoided in my garden. Mostly, I get them from the cat. Early and completely removed, then it is hardly a problem. I’ll turn the ticks out with the ticker Ultra, that’s easy and fast. I am not vaccinated, I do not live in any FSME high-risk area, I respect the much more common other infections and send the tick every time to examine Borrelia in a laboratory, there are some companies that pay the laboratory costs.
I had always been lucky. Well here further north of Germany it is not quite so extreme, but even if I was on holiday and also during tenting in the south, I had never had a tick.
But my cats always had some.
As far as vaccination is concerned, I always refresh my own, even those who are not mandatory, but surely is safe.
The north in D is not a FSME risk area, is it?
Nop (luckily). But it was already the more open in Bavaria and the surrounding area, holidays, hiking, even tents, but has remained spared so far.
However, the ticks probably continue to go north year after year, which is why the risk areas gradually increase with further years.
6 ticks I had so far this year, which is very little.
I notice them very quickly (within a few hours) and scratch them out. It’s okay until now.
But it wasn’t with me, but with the dog:
For 20 years this has been done without problems (forest plot, dogs) except for a problem last year:
A tick has nested between my toes, which I discovered quite late (1.5 days), because I thoughtlessly did not follow the itching and believed in a mosquito bite on the toe.
After this tick has been removed, the sting was heavily inflamed and I had to get an antibiotic ointment from the doctor.
That was the only episode in me caused by ticks. (Taunus area)
Once had two ticks that I noticed after a forest day at school and one that probably bite a little longer, because I had after Boreliose. (With valid vaccination)
Vaccination only protects against the rare FSME, a Lyme disease is 500 x more common.
I’ve never had ticks in my life, though, for example, with our dogs, I’ve always been in the grass, in the forest or something, and I’ve been lying
Once I had about a forest walk. 12 ticks or more, distributed everywhere. But have they all been able to eliminate them successfully.
Another time, I had overlooked a tick that had been stuck for 2 or 3 days. After that, I had two days of diarrhea. But I’m not 100% sure if it was on the tick.
I hate these miscarriages like the plague.

That’s perfect, but I’m glad you had no health problems with ticks.
Thank you. I hope so. 👍
12 ticks at once, they were very small tick larvae, right?
It’s been 10 years since.
I had only one so far in my whole life and this is really big
I guess I haven’t had such a tasty bloodtropoe before
I heard the smell should play an important role, but I think so far only a guess. They don’t like me so much either. No tick or mosquito.
had 2 ticks so far and got me a borreliosis
