May marks Lyme Disease Awareness Month, a time to highlight the risks of Lyme disease, recognize its symptoms, and stress the importance of preventing tick bites.
Due to milder winters and rising temperatures, ticks are increasingly active year-round, leading to significantly extended activity periods. In addition to the common wood tick, new species originating from southern regions are spreading in Germany. This development raises the risk of tick-borne diseases such as Lyme disease and tick-borne encephalitis (TBE), with Lyme cases recently increasing. Experts therefore recommend consistent preventive measures, including appropriate clothing, thorough body checks after outdoor activities, and vaccination in designated risk areas.
Found a tick? With the ArminLabs Tick Test, you can find out if the tick carried Borrelia, TBE virus, or other harmful pathogens — quickly, safely, and with peace of mind.
