CARE PLUS TICK FORCEPS
Ticks live in grass, scrub, heather and low vegetation. Have you been out in nature? Check yourself for tick bites!
If you encounter a tick bite, removing the tick quickly, correctly and safely is very important. Remove the tick within eight hours to minimise the risk of infection. Do not anaesthetise the tick with alcohol or other narcotics. Do not heat the tick, even with a cigarette. Because if you stun or heat a tick, it goes into shock and releases its pathogens through its saliva as a reaction. Using good tick forceps will prevent the tick from releasing its saliva with possible pathogens to you. Afterwards, disinfect the wound with alcohol. Note down in your diary the date of the tick bite, the bite spot on your body and the area where you got the tick bite.

Q&A:
WHAT TO DO IN CASE OF A TICK BITE?
Have you been out in nature? Check yourself carefully for tick bites afterwards! If you find a tick bite, removing the tick quickly, correctly and safely is very important. If you do this within 8 hours of the tick bite, the risk of infection is still small. Only after removing the tick should you disinfect the bite spot with alcohol.
HOW TO RECOGNISE A TICK BITE?
The larva of a tick is smaller than a millimetre and barely visible to the naked eye. Yet it can already bite. So check your body very carefully. After a bite, a red bump often appears. Usually the tick has attached itself well and you can still find it at the place of the bite. The tick may be swollen from sucking blood. Ticks carefully pick a spot to bite. So you may find a tick on your skin that has not yet bitten.
HOW TO PREVENT A TICK BITE?
The tick can infect you with a bacterium that can cause Lyme disease. Preventing being bitten is of course the best thing to do! You can prevent a tick bite by covering your skin as much as possible. Ticks live in low vegetation such as grass and bushes. Therefore, always wear long trousers and tuck your trouser legs into your socks. Use an Anti-Insect product on uncovered skin. Need to protect your feet, ankles and lower legs optimally? Wear Care Plus' impregnated, insect-repellent Bugsox!
WHAT SHOULD I DO FIRST IN CASE OF A TICK BITE?
Remove the tick preferably within 8 hours after the tick bite; then the chance of being infected with pathogens is still small. Only after removing the tick should you disinfect the bite spot with alcohol.
