Description
Scotland, Argyll, Glencoe
Don't put your shoes off when walking in the valley around the munros to hang your feet into the river. We did and had 3 or 4 ticks in our legs!
Thanks a lot for all appreciated comments! ;o)

At certain times of the year, ticks are really annoying! Superb place and capture, Rita!

Not good to get ticks, Dear Rita. Beautiful place with hidden dangers. Hugs. Di. xx

be care: Tick-borne illnesses are caused by infection with a variety of pathogens, including Rickettsia and other types of bacteria, viruses, and protozoa. Because ticks can harbor more than one disease-causing agent, patients can be infected with more than one pathogen at the same time, compounding the difficulty in diagnosis and treatment. Major tick-borne diseases include Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, relapsing fever, tularemia, tick-borne meningoencephalitis, Colorado tick fever, Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever, babesiosis, and cytauxzoonosis. A recent find is Candidatus neoehrlichia mikurensis, a bacterium which causes blood clots; present in 9% of rodents, it mainly affects persons with lowered immune defense, and can be cured with antibiotics. Tick bites may also induce a delayed allergy to red meat, involving the oligosaccharide, galactose alpha-1,3-galactose: the food-induced reactions, including anaphylaxis, characteristically present several hours after eating in subjects who have experienced a large local reaction to tick bites up to six months earlier.[25][26] Eggs can be infected with pathogens inside the ovaries, meaning the larval ticks can be infectious immediately at hatching, before feeding on their first host. beautiful vista btw

Sehr schönes Foto. Deine Fotos inspirieren mich immer, die Landschaft vielleicht einmal zu versuchen in Terragen abzubilden.

Wieder ein toller Ausblick. Diese Farben und das Licht sind ein echter Augenschmaus. Wegen den Zecken, da muß man ganz schön auf der Hut sein, hier der südliche Odenwald ist auch so ein zeckenverseuchtes Gebiet. Ich weiß nicht, wie viele von denen ich schon von meinen Waldspaziergängen mit nach Hause gebracht habe, trotz fester Schuhe und langen Hosen.
