Waar leven teken?

Teken leven dicht bij de grond in lang gras en zijn te vinden in parken, tuinen, bossen en weilanden, zowel binnen als buiten steden.² Ze kunnen niet springen of vliegen, maar hechten zich vast aan de huid van dieren of mensen die tegen hen aan komen.³ Tijdens buitenactiviteiten lopen mensen daarom het risico om gebeten te worden door een teek, bijvoorbeeld tijdens het kamperen, wandelen, fietsen, picknicken, fruit plukken, paddenstoelen plukken of joggen.⁵ Het is verstandig om zoveel mogelijk op de paden te blijven en je niet te begeven tussen dichte begroeiing en struikgewas.
