The tick transmits the pathogen directly to the bite. So, if you tick on, it remains only to pull it out and immediately go to the hospital. There will put intramuscular immunoglobulin. But he does not give full protection if the tick will be infected. So if you don't want to worry about before, during and after each trip to the woods, take care of your health in advance.
The easiest way to protect yourself is to put a shot. Just remember that this is done not at the last moment. In order that the human body has developed the necessary antibodies, it is necessary to vaccinate in several stages. To plan a vaccination must be so since the second administration of the vaccine prior to the proposed meeting with the mites took at least 2 weeks. Note that the interval between the introduction of the first medication and the second can take 1 to 7 months (depending on the type of vaccine). Also some vaccinations involve a threefold administration of the drug. Therefore, to begin the immunization is at the very beginning of winter, or even autumn. Another fact to consider is that the vaccine only bet against tick-borne encephalitis. From such serious diseases as Lyme disease (borreliosis) vaccines are not.

Conventionally, these drugs can be divided into three groups: mites repellent, or repellent; killing insects, acaricidal or; and with dual action insecticide-repellent. Substances of the first group can be applied to the skin. Just remember that they periodically require re-application. Drugs of the second group in most cases represent the aerosol. Spraying them on clothes, in any case not on the skin. And the clothes need to handle not on her, as toxic fumes these tools can lead you to a poisoning. As for the third group of drugs, they also need to be very careful. Not apply, only that will be dressed on you.
Do not forget about security measures and in the woods. Be sure to thoroughly "close" the body: socks on top straighten the slack wax pants that left no slits, through which the tick can climb inside, a t-shirt tuck in pants. From top to wear a jacket with tight cuffs on the sleeves. The collar is also better to use a hood for girls. For the head use a bandanna or any other dense scarf.
When walking try not to approach the tall grass, do not linger near the bushes, don't sit on various fallen objects on the ground. Inspect every 15-20 minutes, carefully check behind the ears and in the folds of the neck.
