Nordic Walking clothing
Nordic Walking is mainly done in the open air and therefore it is wise to wear tick-repellent clothing during this activity. Ticks are found in green places, such as forests, bushes and in tall grass. The chance of a tick bite is therefore considerably high during Nordic walking.
In the Netherlands, more than a million people are bitten by a tick every year, often in a green environment. Many people think that ticks are in trees and fall out there, but that is not true. The small black creatures are mainly found low to the ground and therefore pose a much greater danger than is often thought. They crawl through the grass and in bushes and are therefore close to people. People who often Nordic walk in nature therefore pose a great risk of coming into contact with a tick.
With tick-repellent clothing you prevent the tick from finding its way to your skin when you are Nordic walking. With this clothing you do not have to worry about being bitten by a tick and possibly becoming infected with Lyme disease.
ZECK-Protec Nordic walking clothing against ticks
Wearing ZECK-Protec clothing is the best way to protect yourself against ticks while Nordic walking. This clothing has a special coating that prevents ticks from attaching to the body. A tick therefore falls off the clothing and dies immediately. This means you do not run an unnecessary risk of getting bites and diseases, such as Lyme. The clothing has been tested in various areas and secured against harmful influences.
