It's that time again, the ugly bloodsuckers are active again. Surely you can find this already on your dog or let the nasty critters when filled to the brim of your pets to fall to the ground and you then have to take this with a "iiiiii".
The tick is a global common blood-sucking parasite that feeds on the blood of its hosts. The tick has gained as vectors of disease to humans and animals dubious celebrity.
the tick is infected with pathogens, may be in itself a harmless tick bite on the risk to humans. Stands to them, can get these pathogens in the body of the host's blood. In addition, the tick is also a highly specialized animal that is through build behavior well adapted to their environment.
arachnid tick
The tick is an arachnid. This is evident, for example, at the eight legs of the adult tick. The tick is one of the group of mites. It is a parasite, ie it needs other beings, of whose blood they feed on, like a mosquito.
The tick needs a lot of blood
But compared to the mosquito the tick needs a lot more blood. In extreme cases, it is up to 15 days on their host (animals and humans), and drink his blood. But she looks at her victim an appropriate body, such as in humans, the armpit or the genital area to have a firm hold and survive even scraping or scrubbing without damage.
The body of the tick
At the head of the tick are the piercing and sucking organ of food intake. The first pair of legs sit the most important sense organs and the powerful claws, with which the tick to hold on to their victims. The breathing holes are located behind the last pair of legs, the genitals sitting on the lower part of the abdomen.
As the tick The tick stings
has a highly developed sting apparatus. With its scissor-like mouthparts (chelicerae) it pulls the skin of the host, and digs with her "sting" (hypostome) a hole in the fabric, which is full of blood. This sucks blood from the tick again.
caught on host and glue
The sting apparatus of the tick itself has many small barbs, which are symmetrically arranged. With them to keep the tick firmly at its host.
By sucking blood increases the weight of the tick. Some ticks produce after the bite also another kind of adhesive bonded and thus with the host. However, this does not apply to the Commons wooden support. This species does not produce cement, as the production This adhesive is reciprocal to the length of the Stechapparts behaves.
blood can grow
tick the tick sucks the blood in their bowel. This consists of many attachments and is so flexible that a fully sucked tick up to 200 times as much can weigh on how hungry. Long life
With a single blood meal, a tick survive very long. In the laboratory could tick that had previously sucked blood to survive up to ten 10 years without food. In the wild, the wood tick live on average three to five years.
Ticks can transmit your bite following diseases: Lyme disease
The disease is of a spiral-shaped bacterium, the "Borrelia burgdorferi" triggered. It is the most common tick-transmitted disease in North and Central Europe ..
is known the disease for over 100 years. Willy Burgdorfer discovered only in 1982 but that it is caused by bacteria transmitted by ticks. The Borrelia
live in the gut of ticks. ill
How many people in Germany it is difficult to determine. It is estimated that every year in Germany suffer tens of thousands of people in it.
A disease can have many symptoms. Many of them are also seen in other diseases make the it difficult to diagnose a disease.
tick-borne encephalitis (TBE)
The tick-borne encephalitis, TBE is short, one caused by the TBE virus disease. The virus attacks the central nervous system of humans.
The TBE virus is transmitted primarily by ticks to humans. There are also a few known cases where the added benefit of raw milk from infected cows or goats TBE caused the disease.
were reported last year nearly 550 clinical cases in Germany (Jan. 2007). Not every tick-borne encephalitis infection leads to severe disease. The doctors have been able to figure out yet why it occurs in some people to severe illness and even death in the mind while others TBE-infected patients only slightly or not at all. What is certain is that the age of those infected has an important role. The older the person, the worse, the TBE run.

Goji berries a fountain of strength
Goji berries - power and well-being is
HMAugsburger
In Asia, the Goji berry as the fruit of well-being. The bright red berries to promote traditional Chinese medicine, the life force. In a handbook for physicians from the Ming dynasty (1368-1644) states that ". It strengthens the body and gives a long life" in Tibet to celebrate even festivals, with which one is for the health benefits of this "happy fruit" thanks. Only in recent years to make the fruits of the wolfberry (Lycium barbarum), also in America and Europe talked about - as "anti-aging berry", as herbal substance of beauty and youthfulness.
take Traditionally, the Chinese, the dried goji berries to treat high blood pressure and blood sugar, eye problems, to support the immune system and for the prevention and treatment of cancer. For cooking, the oblong-oval and up to 2 cm sized fruit has always been used, or - even eaten raw - they are sweet. Leaves of young plants are used as leaf vegetables.
Where the true home of the wolfberry is, is unclear, probably his natural habitat of southeastern Europe to China to find. In the north-western Chinese provinces of Gansu, Ningxia, Qinghai and Inner Mongolia is growing to the nightshade family Solanaceae belonging wolfberry wild and plentiful. From there it spread as a cultivated plant throughout Asia, Europe, North America (here, "Wolf Berry), and in North Africa and Australia.
In summer and autumn, the fruits are harvested and dried in the sun. The mature orange-red Goji berries remind Europeans in appearance to hips, in dried form, they resemble raisins. They taste similar to the fruity cranberry tart. Recent scientific
Studies support the good reputation of the Goji berries as a gift of nature. Accordingly, they have strong antioxidant, ie cell-protective properties - delaying an important factor to the aging process. Laboratory studies also showed evidence that carotenoids from wolfberry (zeaxanthin and lutein) to promote the blood supply to the optic nerve of the eye and protect from destruction when a glaucoma is present. Polysaccharides from the plant have immunomodulatory effects. And there are several laboratory studies and a clinical study on the effectiveness against cancer.
Prof. Dr. Earl Mindell, author of some nutritional and vitamin bestseller, made the general public on the scientific study carefully: "The goji berry contains by far the greatest potential health benefits of essential nutrients that I have encountered in my decades of research. Their positive effect on the body is unparalleled and is achieved so far by any other known plant. "Then was the fruit in the United States in the Kitchen. In Great Britain and Ireland goji berries in the fall of 2007 in a few weeks, best-selling health product health food trade.
gave a result more and more companies in the form of dried Goji berries, in cereal, granola bars, mixed nuts, chocolate or as a juice or tea. Goji berries taste in soups, sauces and salads as well as in home-made bread and cakes. They can also be eaten raw such as raisins right out of hand.
The wolfberry fruits contain much vitamin C. The percentage of B-vitamins is remarkably high (B1, B2, B3). The content of other vitamins, minerals and trace elements is remarkable. In the goji berry can be detected in a total of 18 protein building blocks (amino acids) and 21 trace elements.
Article condition is also beta-sitosterol, a phytosterol cholesterolähnliches that can lower the fat content of the blood and favorable effect on prostate enlargement. In addition, anthocyanins, which are antioxidant plant pigments, for example, prevent the oxidation of harmful LDL-cholesterol and thereby prevent deposits in the vessels. According to research 30 grams of Goji berries are sufficient per day to supply the body with the required amount of cell-protective biomaterials.
Goji berries have a positive effect on our immune system. They cause an increase of white blood cells, to animal health of our body and make the macrophages actively and effectively. The distribution of one of the most common antibodies, immunoglobulin A (IgA), rose after the regular consumption of goji berries by 75 percent. The wolfberry fruits increase the production of interleukin-2, a chemical messenger that natural killer cells to increased activity - For example in the fight against cancer cells - stimulates.
The brain benefits from the goji fruit. Sun researchers tested the protective effect of the berry against amyloid peptides, the main culprit in the emergence of Alzheimer's disease. In fact, in the test animals died from a few nerve cells when they were protected by Goji. Chinese extract of goji berries are therefore already made tons to Europe and the USA, to be used in medicine as the active ingredient.
Goji berries one also can breed. Nurseries and garden centers offer the frost-resistant box thorn-bushes on already, Internet service providers send seedlings. In intervals of five feet the plants in 30 inch deep holes in the ground set. After a year, the branches are pruned heavily, suggesting the bush become stronger. If the berries are ripe, they can be dried, frozen or juice pressed from it.
