When the mites come out. The tick was bitten: what to do?

Ticks in July are no less dangerous than in May or June.Moreover, they are dangerous at all seasons, except in winter. However, there is an opinion that it is necessary to fear his bite only in the spring and in the first decade of June. It can not be said that such an opinion is groundless, but it is also difficult to call it completely adequate.

Danger of ticks

Ticks are arthropods belonging to the class of arachnids. This means that they are close relatives of spiders, but essentially differ from them both in structure and in lifestyle.

All of them are small in size. The exception is the very giants who suffer from encephalitis and some other diseases.

True, large concentrations of herbivorous mites damage agricultural crops, destroying not only berries, but the whole plant. A striking example is a spider mite, which can kill a plant.



The problem is that some mikroorganizmy began to use blood-sucking ticks as a vehicle providing access to their food base. Man is the same food base for both mites and microorganisms sitting in a tick.

There are very few species of this group dangerous for humans. It is an itch mite that lives under the human skin, and a group of large mites that drink blood from warm-blooded animals. And far from everywhere the mites-bloodsuckers suffer diseases. For example, in Central Asia, where there are many, they are not seen in the transfer of any diseases. And they are pulled out of the skin easily.

When are ticks most dangerous?

So, the mites do not fall into anabiosis at plus temperature. However, they are active even during the first snowfall (fall). From this point of view, it is necessary to understand what is included in the term "season of ticks". This is the period when:

  • peak activity of these bloodsuckers;
  • their numbers reach their seasonal peak;
  • they are in an active search for their fodder base during the breeding season;
  • the probability of a tick bite is maximized.

As it was said, ticks appear in the active state from the moment of establishment of positive temperatures during the day. In order for them to have the opportunity to search for warm-blooded animals, it is necessary that the top layer of the soil thaws. Phenologically, the probability of the occurrence of ticks can be associated with the flowering of primroses and the swelling of the first kidneys.

In temperate zones of ticks, one should start to fear from April. The peak of their activity falls on the second half of May, the whole of June and the half of July. It remains an open question: why ticks are less likely to get in the way of a person at a time when warm and around a lot of warm-blooded animals?



The probability of a person meeting a tick in the second half of the summer depends on the following factors:

  1. Most of the individuals already drank blood and tackled the problem of reproduction.
  2. In nature there are no organisms that no one would eat. Ticks are the coveted food for birds, many insects, small insectivorous mammals, amphibians, spiders, other mites. By mid-summer, most ticks are usually eaten, and newborns are still unable to eat the bloodsucker. Food chains are one of the most important reasons for reducing the number of ticks. For this reason, the treatment of forests with pesticides to reduce ticks leads, first of all, to a decrease in the number of their natural enemies, which in a few years causes an increase in the number of ticks. There is simply nobody to eat them.
  3. Rhythm of activity in the conditions of a given locality and human activity. The fact is that there are many ticks where there are many large mammals. Especially there are a lot of them in places of ungulates concentration (grazing of domestic animals).

Favorable for mites conditions are cattle trails and those pastures, where grazing animals are long. If the herds of cows or sheep are driven from pasture to pasture for months on end, the mites, having drunk blood, remain on these pastures and increase their livestock. Most often on such pastures, the number of natural enemies of these arachnids is greatly reduced in comparison with the natural norm, which also helps maintain their high numbers.



Places of concentration of people, for example, recreational zones, on the contrary, strangely enough, are unfavorable for ticks. Man, despite all the food attractiveness, is a dead end part of the food chain. Most of the ticks that risked drinking human blood, die, and without giving offspring.

Thus, the activity of ticks begins the same way - with the first stable heat. However, it ends in different ways. In favorable conditions, it can last until stable cold weather sets in. In the forest, especially coniferous, with a small amount of grass and grazing animals, it ends in August.

In general, the danger of being bitten by a tick can be reduced to 3-4 months.

How to reduce the danger of ticks for the human body?



Precautions in the season of activity of ticks can be divided into two parts:

1. How to protect yourself from a tick bite? For this, it is necessary to dress so that the tick has little chance of reaching the human body. A good invention is clothing called "encephalitis." These are trousers and a jacket of a free cut, but with a lot of outfits and elastics, which prevent penetration of the tick under the clothes. On feet it is best to wear rubber boots. Since the mites fall on the human body most often from below, that is, from the grass, the rubber boots for them are something like slippery slides (it does not climb up on it). Clothing should also be made from slippery material. In no case can not walk in clothes made of wool and fleece. The best way to fix a tick on clothes is difficult to come up with.

Regularly you need to examine yourself and your friends and collect ticks. Kill them is quite difficult, so in the woods just drop the uninvited guests off yourself, and go on. At home, of course, they need to be killed. For this, it is sufficient to wash them in a toilet bowl or a sink.



2. How not to expose oneself to those diseases that are carried by ticks? It should be remembered that a bite is not a disease. It is necessary to know whether there are diseases carried by ticks in this area. In Siberia and the Far East, you can not think about this topic. Here, without vaccination against tick-borne encephalitis, you can not go to the forest. But even if a person has an inoculation, one should not calm down. There are cases of diseases in people who regularly get vaccinated. People with vaccination do not die, get sick easier, and negative consequences are almost not manifested. However, this can be avoided. Experienced people who cherish their lives, or turn to doctors, or buy at the pharmacy interferon, themselves, so as not to lose time in the queue in polyclinics, make themselves an injection. Of great importance are the early detection of the intruder and his correct removal.

Life is full of surprises and dangers. Only people can make it more comfortable. The whole responsibility for life rests with the person. It is necessary to know: which ticks, why and when are dangerous? In accordance with this knowledge, take adequate measures.

After determining that the insect has been infected, it is recommended to take antibiotics, when therapy is not started on time, joints, heart, and nervous system pathologies are possible.

Spotted fever

This disease, most often can be transmitted during a greater activity of insects. This disease carries a mortal danger. Among the complications possible inflammation of the brain, lungs, heart. Renal failure is noted, amputation of affected extremities, and lethal outcome is possible.

Tularemia

The disease is one of the rare serious diseases that can be cured only after detection at an early stage, with the help of antibiotics. Among the complications are inflammation of the lungs, meningitis, pericarditis, osteomyelitis. In time, not begun treatment, leads a person to death.

Ehrlichiosis

Conclusions about the disease, occurs after clinical results. People who have not received medical care during the period of time may be subject to severe consequences. This is especially true for patients with weakened immunity, this category is more susceptible to the risk of life-threatening manifestations. Transmitted erlichiosis has its consequences: heart and kidney failure, coma, violation of the process in the respiratory system, convulsions.

Typhus recurrent

Passed through a bite from mites, recurrent typhus is noted feverish attacks, which last for several days with a frequency of up to 4 times. With proper treatment, recovery occurs in a short time. Of the complications, it can be noted in the field of neuropathy.

Babesiosis


What is the danger of a tick bite for a person who has become infected with Babesiosis? This disease can destroy red cells, causing a special kind of anemia (hemolytic). This leads to jaundice, the secretion of dark urine, yellowing of the skin. The most active effects in people with a weak immune system, especially patients with cancer, lymphoma, AIDS. Among the complications there is not stability of arterial pressure, hemolysis, thrombocytopenia, dissemination of coagulation (leads to bleeding, clot formation). Possible allergic reactions, pathological disruptions in the liver, lungs, kidneys, sometimes with a fatal outcome.

Symptoms

Most of the diseases transmitted by ticks are similar to influenza-like symptoms.

  • headache;
  • feverish condition;
  • nausea;
  • vomiting reflex;
  • painful sensations in the muscle tissue;

Attention

A bitten person can feel unpleasant symptoms immediately after an insect bite, and also after 10-15 days.

  • With Lyme disease, fatigue, headaches, a wound in the affected area on the skin, a reddish and petechial rash are felt.
  • Spotted fever, causes high fever, severe headaches, nausea, vomiting, painful sensations in the joints and muscles. The rash manifests itself first on the wrists, then passes over to the ankles, legs, hands, other parts of the body.
  • Tularemia is determined by chills, high dangerous temperature, headache, open wound at the site of the bite, swelling of the glands in the affected area, nausea, vomiting. The symptomatology is observed within three weeks.
  • Ehrlichiosis manifests itself from the first day to the third week. Noted: nausea, malaise, vomiting, chills, rash, headache.
  • Recurrent typhus has the most pronounced character: rapid heart rate, headache, severe fever, abdominal pain, weakness. Symptoms occur from the third to the tenth day.
  • Tick-borne encephalitis is manifested by fever, chills. The incubation period takes place in a short time from 3 to 4 days.
  • Babesiosis has manifestations of general malaise, decreased appetite, fatigue, fever, chills, sweating, which manifest immediately, as well as pass. Manifestations start from the first to the fourth week after the bite.

Than mites for dogs and cats are dangerous

In connection with the fact that mites attack all warm-blooded organisms, the causative agents of serious diseases can penetrate the dwelling of people on the wool of domestic animals.
  Diseases that are transmitted by mites in dogs have a different symptomatology.

Granulocyte anaplasmosis

It appears in animals older than 8 years. It is marked by symptoms: chills, loss of appetite, painful sensations in muscles, lethargy. Sometimes vomiting, convulsions, diarrhea, coughing is possible. The incubation period can last from 7 to 15 days.

Pyroplasmosis or Babesiosis

Most often manifested in animals fighting breed. Symptoms: chills, loss of appetite, lethargy. If you do not begin timely treatment, the animal can tolerate the disease for a long time. Infection occurs in the first day, the incubation period lasts from 7 to 14 days.

Borreliosis (Lyme disease)

It has no obvious symptoms, but it is possible to give up food, increase lymph nodes, the infection begins after the day after the bite. The incubation period is 30 days.

Monocyte erlichiosis

Does not have accurate data on the incubation period. It differs in a variety of symptoms associated with the general condition of the animal.

Hepatozoonosis

It develops when an insect enters the inside of the animal's gastrointestinal tract. Among the symptoms of fever with chills, weight loss, muscle pain, blushing of the mucous membranes. The incubation period lasts up to two weeks.

Cyclic thrombocytopenia

Incubation period up to crescent. Symptoms of severe disease: increased lymph nodes, nosebleeds, fever, apathy, chills.

Demodecosis

Skin rashes, hair loss, hair loss, with ear demodexis, itching in the ears, a large amount of dark sulfur, redness.

Removal of ticks

Do not use liquids with a pungent odor (ammonia, gasoline). You should stop using compresses, ointments, actions with fire, cigarettes. You can not sharply pull out an insect from the skin, use a disinfected tool, pick the place of the bite, sharp objects, press the tick with your fingers.

Following actions

After pulling the pest, you need to closely monitor your health for several days. To do this, you need to monitor the body temperature, monitor the general state of well-being. It is necessary to regularly inspect the affected area of ​​the bite, be sure to show up to a specialist who prescribes a course of therapy.

To completely exclude possible infection, a blood test is required. The analysis should be done after a few days after the bite. To avoid an unpleasant meeting with a small enemy, you need to take preventative security measures.

Prevention

People should not spend time in nature, near marshes and tall grass. Avoid areas where there may be a cluster of ticks (shaded areas). In the woods, for fishing, hunting and just for a picnic, you need to walk in completely closed clothes with dressed trousers in high shoes. On clothes should be a tight fitting collar, headdress. Before going out on nature, you need to use special repellent means for processing clothes.

If you treat with special care to your health and your four-legged friend, you will not have to face unpleasant mishap attacks.

Mites inadvertently associated with discomfort on vacation, with almost the only negative factor of the first in the year of holiday raids on nature. Most mites prefer transitional seasons, but it is more important to know at what temperature mites are not active, and why. It is well known that, in general, mites cease to be active in extreme heat and cold, but they are not their only requirements to the environment ... We will find out how the period of activity of mites depends on the season, weather or time of day.

"Working" seasons of mites

Since ticks are interested in warm-blooded organisms, they become active as soon as a positive temperature is established, that is, it will sweep the top layer of the soil and they will be able to get out to search for victims. Of course, a clear timetable, at what time of the year the mites are most active - no, and the weather can be from year to year different on the same day, but, on average, from April to June in temperate climates there is a real season of mites activity.

If we consider the activity of ticks by months, then the next peak is often in September. Why do mites "miss" the summer?

  • The youngest individuals, who are just preparing to start offspring, are most occupied with the search for blood, we can say that after the spring they pass to the next step of their "mission".
  • Ticks - an important element of the food chain, and the more alive with warmth nature, the more ticks have natural enemies.

Thus, the period of tick activity usually subsides until the next generation grows up.

However, it is better to remember that to a greater or lesser extent mites are dangerous for people at any time of the year. For example, in Siberia, it is not the first time that a tick attack has been recorded since the end of February, and even in November, which is simply amazing. Whether global warming makes itself felt, and the melted soil is more saturated with nutrients for ticks substances, or ticks adapt to the cold in their favorite habitat.

To measure tick-borne activity there is even a simple device - a special flag, and a separate unit of measurement - the so-called. flag-hour. The mite picker takes a light flag 100x60 cm in his hand and drags it along the grass in a section of a certain length, counting his steps along 25-meter sections of the path. After every 25 meters, the flag is inspected and the clamped ticks are collected. At the end of the procedure, it is possible to calculate the number of ticks per 1 km of the path. So determine the peak years for ticks, and their rapid spread to a new location.

What does the period of ticks' activity depend on?

Times of Day.

Iksodovyh ticks - those that are most talked about and most are afraid to meet in nature - do not really care about the change of day and night, the time of activity of such ticks depends more on the weather.

And here are also dangerous for human argas mites really do not like sunlight and attack at night or in shaded places. So, if you are going on a campaign for several days, you need to be vigilant around the clock and put the question not "at what time of the day are the mites most active?", And "which mites are active right now?".

Weather.

Due to the fact that mites go hunting in the spring - in warm and sunny time, the question may arise - in such a case, but are mites active in the rain? Oddly enough, yes, they love the warmth, but they do not tolerate direct sunlight. Even on the low grass in which they live most often on the roadside of forest trails, they prefer to hide on the bottom of the blade of grass, as if under a roof, and prefer shady and wet areas.

If to generalize, in what weather the mites are most active, it is approximately from 7 to 22 degrees Celsius.

Ticks belong to the class of arachnids. More than 48,000 species of ticks are known. Mites live in all climatic zones, on all continents. Not all ticks are dangerous for humans. Most species feed on decomposing organic matter, fungi, plants and promote the formation of humus - the nutrient layer of the soil.

Most ticks are very small - up to 0.4 mm. But individual species reach a size of more than 1 cm. The blood of an animal or a person, a tick, can grow to 2.5 cm. Ticks feeding on the blood of animals and people carry different infections, viruses, including deadly ones. Therefore, one must necessarily know which pincers are dangerous for man, how they look, where they live, what danger they carry.

Which mites are dangerous to humans

Here are some types of mites that can harm a person, from less dangerous to the most dangerous mites in the world:

  • Amber mites (flour, bread). They live in places of storage of cereals, grain, flour. They can attack people, cause allergic reactions. Quickly leave the human body, because they prefer vegetable food.
  • Bed tick. Lives in blankets, pillows, mattresses, carpets, house slippers. It feeds not on human blood, but on dead cells, which every person loses every day (for example, in the form of dandruff). The danger for a person is an allergic reaction to secretion of mites, which can occur in the itch, rashes on the skin, in the most severe cases, bed pliers cause bronchial asthma.
  • Dust mite. Lives in the dust of the apartment. Life activity and danger are similar to a bed tick.
  • Scabies mite (itchiness). It has a very small size, up to 0.3 mm, it is almost impossible to notice it on the skin. The tick is transferred from one person to another at a touch, handshake, the joint use of things in everyday life. The tick drills the tunnels in the upper layer of the skin and moves along them. Testicular activity causes severe itching.

The most dangerous mites in the world

Ixodid mites are extremely prolific, the female lays up to 17,000 eggs. But not so many individuals survive to the adult state. The mite itself is not particularly dangerous, the main danger is that it can carry a lot of infections. The most serious of tick-borne infections is encephalitis.


In the easiest case, encephalitis proceeds in the form of fever, the symptoms of which pass completely after about 10 days. If the virus affects the brain, the consequences can be the most terrible: paralysis, mental disorders, death.

To avoid danger, you need to take precautions, going to nature, in the forest. If a tick is found that has stuck in the body, it is necessary to remove it correctly, to treat the bite site, to take the tick to the laboratory for examination. It is advisable to consult a doctor and take tests to start treatment as needed.

Extremely unpleasant, painful and extremely undesirable. The fact is that these insects are carriers of various diseases, some of which are very dangerous for human health. Each year their number is increasing, so it is necessary to take all available measures to stop this undesirable trend. In this article you will find out what danger these insects represent, the activity of ticks by months, and also the safety measures that should be taken when going to nature.

Consequences of a bite

Mites are carriers of a variety of protozoal, rickettsial, viral and bacterial diseases, including tick-borne encephalitis and borreliosis, Congo-Crimean hemorrhagic and spotted fever of the rocky mountains, typhus and recurrent typhus, babesiosis, tularemia, erlichiosis and others.

Perhaps the most dangerous is tick-borne encephalitis, a viral disease that occurs in an acute form. It affects the nervous system, and as a result, there are significant, and sometimes irreversible changes that occur in the human brain.

Infection

Infection with encephalitis occurs through the bite of pasture This disease has a pronounced seasonality, which falls just at the peak of the activity of ticks.

It is possible to infect encephalitis not only from an insect bite, but also by drinking raw goat's milk, provided that the animal is grazed in places where it is full of mites. Another way of infection can be the destruction of bloodsucking insects with their bare hands, when the fingers have small cracks or micro cuts.


Symptoms of the disease

The first signs of an ailment are manifested on the 7-14 day after sucking in an insect. First there is a headache in the frontotemporal area, then there is a weakness, lethargy, arms, legs and lower back begin to ache. Sometimes the disease begins to manifest suddenly - in this case, the body temperature rises sharply, which can reach 39-40 ° C. At the same time, redness is observed on the skin and mucous membranes. A little later, there are meningeal symptoms and stiffness of the muscles of the hands and neck.

Tick-borne encephalitis, as a rule, lasts for 5-8 days and is accompanied by a high body temperature. With severe development of the disease in humans, signs of damage to the nervous system appear, in which, in addition to weakness in the muscles, their numbness is felt, eventually they become thinner and "lose weight". In especially severe cases, patients develop seizures, and hearing and vision deteriorate sharply.

Restoration of the former muscle functionality is very slow. This process can last for years. With very serious violations completely restore the motor function is no longer possible, so a person remains an invalid for life.

Climate Impact

In these bloodsucking insects, the duration of activity directly depends on the climatic characteristics of a particular locality. In addition, it can vary considerably in time. For example, in the Perm region, the period of the greatest activity of mites lasts an average of 7 days in a young birch planting and twice as many in old forest. At the same time in the Krasnoyarsk Territory, this gap is much larger - from 2 to 60 days, if we take into account the time of the insects' departure to the litter.

Usually the colder the air temperature, the individual activity of the encephalitis tick is less. It is also influenced by weather conditions and relative humidity. For example, in Karelia, the greatest number of attacks of mites is observed at a temperature of 5 to 15⁰ C and relative humidity of 55-80%. At 20 degrees and above, they generally go to the litter. But in the Krasnoyarsk Territory, the period of tick activity occurs when the air temperature is between 0 and 15⁰ C, and relative humidity, which starts from 60% and higher.


Dangerous season

Those living in a temperate climate attack almost throughout spring, summer, and autumn. Knowing by the months, you can easily avoid their bites. In Karelia the European and taiga are activated already in the early spring when the air temperature rises above 3⁰ C. They can wait for their prey on last year's grass, in a heap of brushwood or on newly appeared thawed patches. remains active throughout June. In rare cases, it can be found in July.

The beginning of the activity of ticks in the European zone falls on April. These insects can attack both humans and animals until the very end of September. Sometimes they are found on hunting dogs, even in October and November.

The smallest number of cases accompanied by an attack of bloodsucking insects is observed in the pre-shorter hours. And, in general, the time of activity of ticks is not limited, so they can exhibit aggression around the clock, but the maximum number of attacks occurs nevertheless before dark. In addition, these insects are sensitive to both sunlight and cloudy weather.

The period of the greatest activity of ticks is at the end of April and the whole of July. At this time, all those who like to go to the forest or work there, it is necessary to observe the elementary precautions preventing the attack and sucking of these dangerous insects.


How to protect yourself

Prevention of encephalitis is to increase the resistance of the organism to its pathogen, as well as to effectively protect people in general and each person individually. For example, before making a walk through the forest, it is necessary to observe several conditions under which the possibility of getting insects under clothing will be completely excluded.

To the encephalitic mite, the period of activity of which falls on relatively warm seasons, did not get on the skin, it is necessary to wear a special kit consisting of dense trousers and jackets with a hood. If this was not found, then ordinary clothes can be turned into a protective one - it is only necessary to tightly fasten the cuffs and collar of the shirt, then tuck it into the trousers, and them into socks or boots. On the head must always put on a hood or wear a hat. Many will think that in hot weather it will be difficult to work or walk in such clothes, but believe me, this is really extremely necessary.

During the period of activity of the mites, being in a forest or park for a long time, it is necessary to periodically carry out mutual thorough inspections every one or two hours. This precautionary measure is completely reliable and accessible. During the examination, special attention should be paid to the auricles, skin folds, inguinal and axillary cavities, and also to other hairy parts of the body.

When you are going home, do not forget about careful checking of clothes. Particular attention should be paid to places where there are seams and folds on the fabric, since it could easily have crawled as yet not sucked in insects. Only fully convinced that there are no ticks, you can go into the room. In this case, it is desirable to leave things and shoes outside the house. It is recommended to remove all clothing and underwear, and then pour water and thoroughly wash. These simple precautions during the activity of ticks are very effective and available to everyone.


Detection actions

In the event that a dangerous insect still sucked, it must be immediately pulled out and surely along with the head. There are several ways to remove ticks. In one of them a thread is used. First, it needs to bandage the front of the bloodsucker right at the surface of the skin. Then gradually pull the ends of the thread simultaneously to the sides and up and thus pull out the sucking mite.

For the next method, you will need Vaseline, cream or vegetable oil, which must be lubricated by the insect itself and the area around it. Fat will block his respiratory organs, and he will relax his proboscis for a while. After about one minute, the tick must be thrown back, and by grasping it directly by the skin with two fingers or tweezers, pull it out with a sharp movement. So it can be painlessly removed without leaving a head. This is very important, since not completely taken out the tick can cause the inflammatory process.

If the head of the mite still could not be pulled out, and it remained in place of suction, it would have to be extracted with a burnt pin or needle. After such a procedure, the wound on the skin should be disinfected with iodine.

Precautionary measures

In the peak of the activity of ticks lovers of forest walks should be extremely cautious. It should be remembered that all insects found on the body or on clothing, as well as extracted from the skin, must necessarily be destroyed. They can be ignited or placed in a disinfectant solution, for example, alcohol, lysol or kerosene.

It must be remembered that in no case should you press the ticks with your hands. Even small splashes from the salivary glands or the cavity fluid of the insect can accidentally get into small wounds on the skin, mucous membranes of the nasal cavity and mouth, which may well lead to infection with tick-borne encephalitis. After removing the bloodsucker, do not forget to wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water.

Chemical protection means

Against tick bites, special repellent substances have been developed, called repellents. Such of them, as DETA (diethyltoluamide), kyuzol and carboxyde have already managed to prove themselves well. The first of the above substances is available in the form of cream, aerosol and 40% alcohol solution. In the period of activity of ticks, before you go to nature, you need to put a repellent on the open parts of the body - hands, face and neck.

Not so long ago, another effective, convenient and safest way to protect yourself from a dangerous bite appeared - impregnation of clothes and headdresses by repellents. The effectiveness of this method lies in the fact that the chemical is stored much longer on the tissue, and not on the skin. However, it should be remembered that in some people repellents can cause adverse reactions in the form of irritation of the mucous membranes of the nose and oral cavity. Therefore, it is necessary to apply chemical preparations with great care, while observing all the rules for their use.


Prevention

There is a special vaccine against tick-borne encephalitis, which is a preparation made on the basis of a dead virus. It was first used in 1939. Since the early 60's, a more advanced tissue vaccine has been developed. It is painless and highly effective. This preparation is vaccinated, beginning in October and ending March-April, just before the onset of heat - the period of activation of ticks.

The vaccination course is carried out in four stages - three inoculations are done in the autumn, and the fourth one is already in the spring. Passive immunization is also used, but only when an insect has already sucked into the person. In this case, antiancephalitic gamma globulin is administered.


Mass destruction of dangerous insects

During the period of mites activity, disinfection of large areas is often resorted to to protect the population from encephalitis infection. To do this, spray special pesticides that destroy insects directly in their natural foci.

But the processing of forest lands is only the first step on the way to improving the territories. The next stage is the creation of parks around the village. For this purpose, measures are carried out for thinning, clearing and harvesting the windbreak, windfall and stumps, since it is there that small mammals are attacked by mites. In addition, it is necessary to regularly sweep the grass in places where there are bases and rest homes, sanatoriums, children's camps, etc.
