The first active tick in Kalmar County was found in January, and a tick has been reported in Jönköpings County in March. According to Dave Karlsson, a researcher and station manager at Station Linné on Öland, 2026 will likely be a year with many ticks. He says a long cold winter does not disturb ticks, and snow cover gives them a pleasant winter rest.
The conditions exist for it to be a good tick year, Karlsson states.
