This year, Belarusians have already been bitten by ticks twice

Vlada Zapolskaya, head of the anti-epidemic department of the Republican Center for Hygiene, Epidemiology, and Public Health, reported that the first bites were registered in January in the Brest and Mogilev regions.

The insect attacks occurred during work in agricultural buildings. There have been no new cases in February yet, but tick activity will resume after the frosts subside.

Despite the common belief that snow and severe frosts can adversely affect ticks, this is not true: under the snow and in the litter of fallen leaves, they remain in a state of anabiosis as if under a warm blanket, and with the arrival of temperatures above +5 °C, they will emerge to the surface. In general, there are areas in Belarus where ticks are active all year round — these are the warm regions of the Gomel, Grodno, and Brest regions.

Annually, about 30,000 people seek medical help due to tick bites.
