It’s finally getting warmer, the plants are growing and we can spend more time outdoors! What’s great for us is also great for the ticks, whose season has now begun. Almost imperceptibly, they work their way forward on the skin until they find a good spot to bite into. But what to do if you are bitten by a tick? Our tips will help you to deal with the tick problem properly. <\/p>

How to remove ticks from your skin<\/h2>

There used to be lots of home remedies for tick bites that are no longer used today. For example, it was recommended to suffocate the tick with alcohol or oil. Today we know that the tick brings even more saliva and therefore more pathogens into the bite site during its death throes. Such tips are therefore outdated. You should not apply anything to the tick at all, but remove it as quickly as possible. <\/p>

The best way to do this is with tick tweezers or a tick card. A tick card has notches at the corners that you can push under the tick to pull it out. It also works on very small ticks, whereas tick tweezers are more suitable for larger specimens. Another advantage of the tick card is that you can simply put it in your wallet and always have it with you. The application is similar for the tick tweezers and tick card: pull the tick quickly upwards out of the skin! If the tick is very difficult to remove, gently twisting it back and forth can help. <\/p>

Care for the skin after a tick bite<\/h2>

A tick bite can cause itching, redness and other unpleasant symptoms. To soothe and care for your skin, we recommend our Qnupi roll-on<\/a>. It consists of a clever combination of silicon and various high-quality oils that cool and soothe the skin. You can use it not only for tick bites, but also for other insect bites and stings. However, only apply the roll-on once you have removed the tick! <\/p>

The Qnupi roll-on can also be used as a preventative measure. The smell of the oils it contains, especially oregano oil and mint oil, is perceived as annoying by ticks. This can reduce the likelihood of a tick bite. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The first 24 hours after the tick bite are crucial<\/h2>\n

A tick takes a relatively long time to find a suitable area of skin and attach itself. This is why it is so important to recognize a tick bite early on. So get into the habit of checking yourself for tick bites every evening during the warmer months! <\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/h2>\n

A tick should be removed as soon as possible after the bite. Simply pull it out with tick tweezers or a tick card! The mint oil in the Qnupi roll-on<\/a> then soothes the skin. This can also be used as a preventative measure if, for example, a walk in the woods is on the agenda. <\/p>\n
