This is how you react to a tick bite

Those who spend the summer in Bavaria or Baden-Württemberg should beware of ticks – because these are risk areas. Should you get bitten, there are some things you should be aware of. You can find the most important information in the video.

A tick bite is actually more of a sting. The easiest way to recognize him is when the tick is still sitting on your skin and sucking blood. If the tick has already fallen off, it becomes more difficult since the simple tick bite cannot be fixed to certain symptoms. Usually tick bites are painless and do not cause itching. However, the latter can be the case when infected with a pathogen that the ticks affected can transmit. We will tell you how you can recognize a tick bite and how you can best act when you are caught.
