The tick is quite durable. If a child unknowingly tightens him home on his clothes, or a pet in a fur, believe that he can survive the cycle of washing at 40 degrees Celsius, such a low temperature will not hurt him. The tests have shown that the tick does not survive washing at 60 degrees or more. In the water as such, without washing at higher temperatures, the tick can survive even 3 weeks.
