A child from Omutninsk was attacked by a tick

      According to the department, on March 26 of this year, the first case of a tick attack in 2025 was registered: a bloodsucker was found on the body of a minor resident of the Omutninsky district.

      The Rospotrebnadzor of the region reported that the place where the child could have "picked up" the tick has not been established. The typical habitats of ticks are mixed coniferous and deciduous forests, low-growing shrubs and grass.: The ticks do not rise above 1 cm from the ground.

      According to the agency, tick activity in our region begins to be registered mainly in late March and the first half of April. The most dangerous months are May and June, when the ticks are hungry after hibernation and, accordingly, most active.

      If a tick bite has occurred, it is necessary to seek medical help to remove the tick at a medical and preventive institution at the place of residence, the Rospotrebnadzor in the Kirov region noted.
