Dangerous tick season is in full swing! Remember which places on the body should be checked first after long walks.
If in these days of May you have gone to the countryside, like most people, you should be ready to face all the dangers that country life has prepared for you. First, think of the ticks that came out of a bloodthirsty hunt after a long winter.
These blood-sucking insects are so insidious that they can be found even hours after a long walk in the fresh air. You can bring them into the house on clothes. Only after a while will they find a “soft” place on the body, into which they sink their jaws.
At the same time, the areas that ticks usually choose to carry out their mission are, as a rule, different for children and adults. In adults they are most commonly found in the armpits and groin, but in children they like to burrow into the neck, ears or head.
Scientists cannot yet scientifically explain these differences. There is a version that it is easier for small bloodsuckers to get to the upper areas of the child’s body. Because adults are much larger than children, insects choose lower places on their bodies. However, this is only a hypothesis, the official confirmation of which is not yet available.
