TICK CHECK!

June 2023

Ticks are small and live exactly where four-legged and two-legged friends like to spend their free time: on the edges of forests, clearings or in the grass.
Even if the walk "only" goes over a meadow ... the bloodsuckers come the passing "buffet" gerate right.
They let themselves be stripped from plants, then crawl to a suitable spot, bite down and suck blood. In the process, they transmit diseases.
This year, the danger of ticks is also particularly high. https://www.bag.admin.ch/.../zeckenuebertragene...

Ticks can transmit serious diseases. Recognizing bites early and removing the bloodsuckers quickly can therefore be crucial.
According to zecken-stich.ch, this is how you remove a tick quickly and in the right way
and in the right way:
It is particularly easy with a tick card. Be careful, however, that you do not pull out any hair from your dog. Place the tool as close as possible to the skin and carefully pull out the parasite. Tick cards are available in pharmacies.
If you do not have a tick card on hand, use tweezers. Use the same technique as with the tick card.
If you do not have a tool with you, you can also remove the parasite with your fingernails. Grab the bloodsucker as close to the skin as possible between your thumb and forefinger and pull it out straight and carefully.
Do not use alcohol, oil or glue for removal. Pathogens may enter your four-legged friend's blood more quickly this way.
If you are unsure how to properly remove the parasite, consult a veterinarian.
More useful information is also available in the tick app from the FOPH, which can be found on the website:
