As temperatures rise, mosquitoes, ticks, and other insects return. A short moment outdoors is often enough to end up with itchy skin. But insect bites are more than just a nuisance – they can also pose health risks.
Mosquito bites happen when female mosquitoes feed on blood and inject saliva into the skin, causing redness, swelling, and itching. Ticks, on the other hand, attach firmly to the skin and often go unnoticed. This makes them more dangerous, as they can transmit pathogens such as Lyme disease bacteria or tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) viruses.
Prevention is key. Light-colored, long clothing, closed shoes, and insect repellents with proven active ingredients can help keep insects away. After spending time outdoors, it’s important to check your skin carefully, especially warm and hidden areas like behind the knees, under the arms, or around the ears.
If a tick has attached itself, it should be removed as quickly as possible. The best way is to use fine tweezers, a tick remover, or a tick card from a pharmacy. Grasp the tick close to the skin and pull it out slowly and straight without squeezing it. Avoid home remedies like oil or glue, as they can increase the risk of infection. Afterwards, disinfect the area and monitor it over the next few days.
A typical mosquito bite usually only causes itching and heals quickly. Warning signs include severe swelling, pain, fever, flu-like symptoms, or signs of infection. With tick bites, special attention is needed: a slowly expanding, ring-shaped redness around the bite can indicate Lyme disease and should be checked by a doctor.
After a bite, it’s important to observe the affected area for several days. Increasing redness, warmth, pus, or persistent itching may indicate inflammation. General symptoms such as fatigue, headaches, or body aches should also be taken seriously if they occur after a bite.
Cooling helps reduce swelling and relieve itching. Gels or creams from the pharmacy containing antihistamines, aloe vera, or chamomile can soothe the skin. Heat-based bite relief devices can also help reduce itching. Avoid scratching to prevent infection. In more severe cases, cortisone creams can provide short-term relief when used appropriately.
With the right preparation, you can enjoy summer despite mosquitoes, ticks, and other insects. A well-stocked online pharmacy offers suitable products for prevention and treatment of insect bites – quickly, conveniently, and delivered straight to your home.
