ticks - annoying small creatures
Friday, July 3, 2009 8:50:50 PM
Yesterday I was jogging in the evening. For me jogging is really good to calm down after the whole day in front of the screen.
Normally my "jogging route" is a small way to the neighbour town and back to home. The way is alongside a railroad. In the neighbour town I cross that railroad on a level-crossing and ran back.
But yesterday I decided to run on an other way. Near my home is a beautiful forest where you can see very often other joggers.
Through the forest there is a very nice pathway with some branching paths. It's really cool there and of course not so hot like directly in the sun. The floor cover is also good to run because I usually used to run on asphalt.
Well I did one big round on the big pathway through the forest and decided to run a smaller one again. So after the big round I chose an other smaller pathway. Well the smaller pathway I chose was not a good choice I realised later. At the end of the small round the path became more and more overgrown.
When I came back after the second round I immediately checked if I have some ticks on my cloths. Well I found two ticks there. Just three minutes later the first one crawled on my arm. It seems that small creature crawled to my arm when I had the hands on my legs. Really strange. But I blowed it away. The other one I found on my t-shirt. In this case I was glad I usually use long jogging trousers.
Well when I came home I checked again if I have some ticks on my body because these small creatures are often vectors of a number of diseases and the area where I live is a region at risk in this
case. I didn't found others there. Well I really don't like these small creatures.
I will go jogging there again, but next time I will definitely choose the normal pathway. Because there you don't have such problems in normal case.
Best wishes,
Heiko
