About Tick
Bitten by a tick? What to do. Follow these tips for removing ticks. The risk hazard map shows the current tick bite risk in Switzerland and Liechtenstein. Log tick bites and sightings in the tick diary. The reminder feature lets you compare pictures of symptoms with the bite on your body. If you see signs of infection when examining the bite, consult a doctor to determine whether you may have contracted Lyme disease.
Bites and sightings reported anonymously are shown as pink or turquoise dots on the potential risk map. Thank you for your Citizen Science contribution to the applied research efforts conducted by ZHAW.
The progression of the disease and the TBE vaccination recommendation issued by the Federal Office of Public Health can be found in the info section of the app. There you can also read about the lifecycle of Ixodes ricinus if you want to learn more about the wood tick.

Our puggle was found with a tick buried in one of its ears this morning. It was brought to the Vet, where they believed it to be a non-infecfuous American or brown tick, thankfully. It was non-engorged. Nonetheless, when I installed the "Tick" app, I was disappointed not to find any information specific to pets, such as our 5-Year-old dog. Ths app is from Switzerland and seems only to provide information for humans, and not pets. It would benefit the app's users if it included information for pet owners.
