Outside without worries

Ticks and tick bites are the last things you think about when you walk, work or play outside. Fresh air and sunshine is very important for your health, but ticks and other biting or stabbing insects can make being outside less pleasant, because they can cause nasty infections and spread diseases with devastating consequences. Care Plus® can make it possible to enjoy being outdoors without worrying about contagious diseases spread by insects and ticks.

Ticks are assassins

Ticks are small spidery bugs, nearly invisible to the naked eye which makes them even more dangerous. You don't notice a tick bite nor do you feel it. The tick also hides itself very well, and it's only after it has fed that you can see it more easily. Why is the tick so dangerous? Because it spreads Lyme disease, a chronic disease that can be hard to diagnose but can have underestimated impact on the rest of your life.

Stop the tick from below!

Tick bites can be avoided by protecting yourself. Ticks come from below, through the grass, heath and scrubs and then climb on to passing hosts (small animals and humans). The Care Plus® Bugsox stops ticks before they can clamp themselves in to your skin. Any part of the body that is not covered by clothing should be rubbed with DEET or Picaridin. You should still check yourself for ticks; remove any tick you find within 8 hours to avoid contamination.
