Je, ticks inaweza kuumwa kupitia leggings? Je, uko salama?

Ninapenda wakati hali ya hewa ya joto hatimaye inakuja kwani ninaweza kuanza kutoka zaidi, lakini hii pia inamaanisha ticks zaidi. Kuumwa na tick ni kitu ambacho nataka kuepuka kwa gharama zote.

Ticks upendo maeneo ya joto na nyasi kama mbuga na kuni na wanaweza kuwa kiasi fulani gumu ya kujikwamua mara moja wao latch juu yenu.

Njia maarufu ya kupambana na ticks ni kuvaa nguo ndefu / sleeves, lakini sioni mtu yeyote anayetaka kufanya hivyo ikiwa inawaka moto nje.

Badala yake, labda utachagua nguo zinazoweza kupumua zaidi kama leggings na vifaa vingine vya unyevu. Hizi ni kawaida hasa kwa wanawake lakini pia nina jozi ya leggings mwenyewe na nilikuwa nashangaa kama ningeweza kuvaa bushwalking hizi badala ya suruali baggy hiking.

Lakini je, ticks inaweza kuumwa kwa njia ya kunde? Je, kuvaa leggings kunazuia kuumwa na tick?

Ticks haiwezi kuumwa kupitia leggings, na kuwafanya kuwa nzuri kwa kukaa baridi na kuzuia ticks katika miezi ya joto. Kwa ulinzi bora dhidi ya ticks, changanya leggings na soksi ndefu juu ya leggings na utumie repellents za tick ambazo zimeundwa kwa nguo na kitambaa.
