Why are ticks dangerous?
The danger of ticks lies in the fact that they are capable of carrying infections that are harmful and in some cases fatal to humans - encephalitis, tularemia, borreliosis, Lyme disease. When this arthropod bites, the virus immediately enters the bloodstream, rapidly spreading throughout the body. It is important to detect a tick on yourself in time and immediately seek help from specialists.
After being in nature, be sure to immediately check your entire body for tick bites, and if necessary, immediately seek medical help.
Which models do consumers choose?
There are quite a lot of anti-tick suits on sale. According to customer reviews, the best are:
- Biostop. Produced in Russia, developed with the participation of entomologists. Officially approved by Rospotrebnadzor (according to its research, clothing provides 100% reliable protection). The cut includes nine traps, and the kit includes a mosquito net for the face. Impregnation retains treatment after 50 washes. The tick dies within two minutes and it is impossible to bring it home. Models - Optimum (cost on the manufacturer's website - 8,700 rubles) and Light (6,180 rubles), slightly different in the number of pockets and their location. Each is produced for men, women, children (preschoolers, junior high school students, high school students and high school girls). Pants and men's shirts are sold separately. The color is sand, green or “protective”, which does not attract the attention of ticks. The disadvantages are the thick fabric (uncomfortable to wear in the heat) and its variegated coloring, which makes it difficult to immediately notice ticks.
- Wolverine. You can buy a jacket with trousers or overalls, insulated or lightweight. The material is treated with anti-acaricidal and water-repellent impregnation. Traps are sewn into the legs, sleeves, fabric on the back and chest. Includes a hood and mosquito net. Provides reliable protection even to those who are forced to regularly be outdoors during the period of maximum tick activity (foresters, ecologists). The material is one hundred percent cotton, it is comfortable even in the heat. On light-colored fabric, mites do not go unnoticed. The suit does not restrict movement, but at the same time it has thick cuffs and tape for tightening them, allowing you to adjust it to yourself. There are women's and children's versions of the suit. The most popular summer suit among consumers is the Tourist-N, its cost is 5,000–5,500 rubles. The price of warm models is 11,500–12,500 rubles.
- Antignus-Lux. Consists of trousers and a jacket with a hood (its volume is adjustable). It comes with a mosquito net, which is stored in a special secret pocket in the hood. Traps are sewn into the sleeves. The knee pads, elbow pads and groin area are stitched with denser fabric, providing increased wear resistance. There is a children's model. Among the shortcomings are the pockets, which are not very convenient to use. The cost of a suit for an adult is 2000–2500 rubles.
- Helios Stop-Tick. Made in China. It is made of light (gray, khaki, beige), dense, but at the same time soft to the touch fabric (a mixture of cotton and polyester). It's not very comfortable in the heat. The only option is unisex (sizes 44–62); there are no special models for small children. Consists of an anorak-type jacket with three pockets and a hood with a mosquito net and trousers with leggings sewn inside. Quite comfortable to wear. The traps are folds of white fleecy fabric. It is cheaper than many models (2800–3100 rubles), but at the same time is not inferior to them in protective properties.
A little about the drug "Breeze-Antiklesch"
All anti-tick drugs can be divided into several types:
- acaricidal - agents that have a fatal or paralyzing effect on ticks;
- repellent - act by repelling ticks;
- combined - products that combine 2 effects - acaricidal and repellent;
- folk - can be both acaricidal and repellent, their peculiarity is self-preparation based on folk recipes.
Chemical repellents are more popular because they cause minimal harm to humans, do not have unpleasant odors, and do an excellent job of repelling ticks.
Acaricidal and combined preparations should never be applied to the skin or sprayed near the human respiratory tract. They are designed not only to repel ticks, but also to kill them. The latter is due to the high content of harmful substances in such products, so they pose a serious threat to human health.
The drug "Breeze-Antiklesch" is acaricidal, but at the same time it is intended specifically for human protection.
"Breeze Anti-Tick" is able to protect against ticks - the carrier of more than 40 viral diseases known to man
Composition of the drug
The product has been developed over 15 years to protect employees of law enforcement agencies from pests. It contains several effective components, each of which performs a specific function:
- α-cypermethrin is the main active ingredient, instantly paralyzing the parasite upon contact;

- Prepare the necessary clothing (in which you will go to the affected area) by hanging it on hangers.

- cypermethrin – 25%;
- solvents;
- synergist;
- emulsifier (emulsion stabilizer).
Synergists are substances that enhance the toxicity of pesticides, but are not poisons. Due to the presence of synergists, working solutions contain 0.01-0.05% cypermethrin.
On a note!
The shelf life of the working solution is 6 hours.
Instructions for use
The working solution must be prepared before use. The Breeze product is mixed with strained water and stirred for 5 minutes.

When spraying, you must use special clothing and take precautions.
Since the main use of the product is forested areas on an industrial scale, the safety precautions for Breeze were developed taking these nuances into account. Minors and pregnant women are not allowed to work with the drug.
Important!
A drug that does not have a passport is prohibited for use.
When working with the product, personal protective equipment is required:
- overalls made of thick or water-repellent fabric;
- latex gloves;
- sealed monoblock glasses;
- respirator with gas cartridge or gas mask.
On a note!
The respirator should fit snugly to the face without squeezing soft tissue. If you smell the drug in the respirator, this is a signal that you need to replace the gas cartridge.
Breeze anti-tick product
After use, the rubber parts of the respirator are thoroughly washed and dried. The overalls are removed and ventilated. Wash when dirty or once a week in a soda solution. You can spray no more than 6 hours a day with a break of 15 minutes every hour.
Although rare, reviews of Breeze sometimes contain complaints of malaise after treatment.
Symptoms of poisoning and first aid
If you systematically spray Breeze, the product will sooner or later get into your eyes or skin. In this case, the eyes are washed with water. Drops of the product from the skin are carefully removed with a cotton swab, without rubbing, and the affected area is washed with soap and water. It is worse if the drug enters the body. In this case, intoxication occurs. Symptoms of cypermethrin poisoning:
- vomit;
- unpleasant taste in the mouth;
- nausea that worsens when eating or smoking;
- weakness;
- headache;
- salivation;
- respiratory irritation;
- abdominal pain.
When food poisoning occurs, the first thing to do is vomit. To do this you need to drink several glasses of water. After vomiting, drink a 2% baking soda solution. Second option: 10-15 tablets of activated carbon with a couple of glasses of water. If a person loses consciousness, he is turned over on his side, emergency assistance is called and no further measures are taken. Treatment of Breeze poisoning is symptomatic.
Advantages and disadvantages of protective clothing
Advantages of anti-tick suits:
- Long-lasting protective effect. Conventional sprays and repellents provide the desired results within a few hours at most. And they still don’t provide guaranteed protection that you won’t be bitten.
- Possibility to use the suit for three years. The anti-acaricidal effect, according to manufacturers, persists even if clothes are washed many times. However, this rather concerns mechanical traps and folds. But the impregnation will need to be renewed regularly.
Going for a walk in the forest in anti-tick suits, you don’t have to worry about the health of yourself and your loved ones
There are also disadvantages:
- possible allergy to the chemical with which the fabric is impregnated;
- a thick jacket and trousers are not particularly comfortable in extreme heat;
- high cost (purchasing such clothing is advisable for those who regularly visit nature - hunters, fishermen, mushroom pickers).
A tick suit will pay for itself if you use it regularly; for a picnic trip 1-2 times a season, protective aerosols are enough
