50 to 100 percent more ticks have recently been found in certain regions of eastern Bavaria than in the past. Ticks feel most comfortable in tall grass, bushes and undergrowth, but the risk of being bitten is high not only in the wild.

The city of Munich was also recently classified as a risk area by the Robert Koch Institute. Long clothing that protects the skin from direct contact with nature is also recommended. After each tick bite, the tetanus vaccination protection should also be checked.
