    200,000+ Lyme disease cases in Europe each year. TBE affects 10,000+ people annually with no cure.

    Lyme disease, tick-borne encephalitis, Babesiosis. One bite is all it takes. The only defence is stopping the bite before it happens.

    Used by +10,000 families this tick season

    Most repellents work in one phase only: they either repel or react on contact. Nothing addresses the environmental reproduction cycle.

    Origen closes all three gaps simultaneously. With tick-borne conditions like Lyme disease and tick-borne encephalitis on the rise, stopping the bite before it happens is the only real defense.

    One bite. No warning. Prevention matters most.
    Tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) affects thousands of people across Europe each year and has been associated with lasting neurological effects. Lyme disease is the most widely documented tick-borne condition in Europe. Prevention reduces exposure to both.

    Origen Tick Defense
    What every family should know before going outdoors

    The bite your child won't feel.
    The reason prevention matters.

    Health authorities including the CDC and NHS highlight the following:

    • A tick is smaller than a poppy seed. Your child will not feel the bite, and neither will you.
    • Ticks are active in your backyard, on school trails and in suburban parks, not just the wilderness.
    • Lyme disease can take years to diagnose correctly. Early symptoms are easily missed.
    • The Lone Star Tick has been linked to Alpha-Gal Syndrome, a serious condition affecting red meat tolerance, now documented across 45+ US states.
    • Currently, there are no widely established cures for Lyme, Alpha-Gal Syndrome or RMSF once established. Preventing the bite reduces exposure across all tick-borne conditions.
    Why your family is still at risk

    Three reasons ticks keep winning.

    Most families think they're protected. Here is what the market gets wrong, and why exposure remains high every time you head outside.

    The bite your child won't feel

    Ticks are smaller than a poppy seed. The bite is completely painless, no itch, no sting. By the time you spot the tick, it may have been feeding for hours. Most families only notice a tick during a post-hike check. Many never do.

    • Nymphs are the size of a poppy seed
    • Bite is completely painless
    • Early attachment often goes unnoticed

    Symptoms that are easy to miss

    Tick-borne conditions can mimic flu, arthritis and many other illnesses. Lyme disease in particular may take time to diagnose correctly. Families sometimes spend months consulting specialists before getting a clear answer.

    • Symptoms can resemble many other conditions
    • Correct diagnosis may take time
    • Early action after a bite is important

    No widely available treatment. Prevention is the best option.

    Currently, there are no widely established cures for Lyme disease, Alpha-Gal Syndrome or Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever once they become established. The most accessible form of protection is preventing the bite in the first place.

    • Lyme disease: no widely established cure once established
    • Alpha-Gal Syndrome: no established cure, requires lifelong management
    • RMSF: requires prompt medical attention

    Mark T., outdoor family
    We hike Swedish forests every weekend with our two kids. Last spring I found a tick in my daughter's hairline after a Sunday walk in the woods near Uppsala. She never felt it. After reading about TBE being confirmed in our region, I wasn't waiting any longer. Origen every morning since.

    My son got TBE from a hiking trip in Bavaria. One bite no one noticed. Three weeks later: high fever, hospitalisation, permanent neurological symptoms. There is no cure for TBE. We protect our whole family now with Origen. Every single time we go into the forest.

    I pulled two ticks off my kids on a Norway trail walk. After reading that TBE and Lyme are both rising across Scandinavia, I wasn't taking any more chances. Two full seasons with Origen. Zero attached ticks on any of us. Peace of mind on every forest walk.

    Amplifies the Phase 1 repellent effect. Traditionally associated with masking host signals that attract ticks and mosquitoes.
    Phase 2, Disrupt
    Cedarwood Oil (Atlas)
    Contact deterrent for Phase 2. Traditionally associated with disrupting tick navigation on skin and clothing, reducing anchoring behaviour.
    Phase 2, Disrupt
    Rosemary Oil
    Strengthens the Phase 2 contact deterrent layer. Traditionally associated with repelling biting insects on direct exposure.
    Phase 3, Inhibit
    Lemongrass Oil
    Phase 3 environmental deterrent. Traditionally associated with creating a less favourable environment for ticks when applied to outdoor perimeters and lawn edges.
    Phase 3, Inhibit

    Frequently asked.

    Questions? Write to contact@tryorigen.co, a real person responds within one working day.

    What tick-borne conditions should I be aware of?

    Ticks carry a range of conditions including Lyme disease, Alpha-Gal Syndrome, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever and others. Lyme disease is the most commonly reported tick-borne condition in the US. The Lone Star Tick has been linked to Alpha-Gal Syndrome, a condition associated with intolerance to red meat and dairy products, now documented across 45+ US states. Prevention remains the most accessible approach since currently there are no widely established cures for most tick-borne conditions once established. Always consult a healthcare provider if you suspect a tick-borne illness.

    Which tick species are common in Europe?

    The castor bean tick (Ixodes ricinus) is the most widespread tick in Europe and is the primary vector for Lyme disease and tick-borne encephalitis. The taiga tick (Ixodes persulcatus), ornate cow tick, brown dog tick and European hedgehog tick are also present across various regions. All are small, their bites are painless and nymphs can be difficult to spot. Checking for ticks after outdoor activity is recommended by the ECDC and WHO regardless of the repellent used.

    How does Origen Human Defense work?

    Origen Human Defense is a plant-derived repellent formula. Geraniol and Citronella Oil are traditionally associated with repelling ticks and biting insects by masking host-detection signals. Cedarwood Oil and Rosemary Oil are traditionally associated with deterring ticks on contact with skin and clothing. Lemongrass Oil and Thyme Oil are applied to outdoor perimeters to create a less favourable environment for ticks. All six actives are EPA 25(b) exempt and plant-derived. No synthetic chemicals, no DEET. No repellent provides absolute protection. Always check for ticks after outdoor activity.

    Can Origen reduce exposure to tick-borne conditions?

    Origen Human Defense does not treat or cure any tick-borne condition. However, since all tick-borne conditions are transmitted through tick bites, consistently preventing the bite is the most accessible form of exposure reduction. No repellent provides absolute protection. Always check for ticks after outdoor activity and consult a healthcare provider promptly if you find an attached tick.

    Should I be concerned about tick-borne conditions where I live?

    Tick populations are documented across a wide range of habitats and are expanding their range in many regions. Even suburban parks and garden edges can harbour ticks. The CDC, NHS and ECDC all recommend precaution when spending time in grassy or wooded areas. Wearing protective clothing and using a repellent before outdoor activity are among the recommended steps.

    How often should I apply it?

    Apply before any outdoor activity. Reapply every 4 to 6 hours or after swimming or heavy sweating. For yard treatment, spray perimeters and lawn edges once weekly during active tick season. In southern states where Lone Star Ticks are active year-round, maintain application through winter months.

    Is the formula safe for my skin and my family?

    Yes. All six actives are plant-derived and EPA 25(b) exempt, meaning they are classified as minimum risk pesticides by the US Environmental Protection Agency. No synthetic pesticides, no DEET, no endocrine disruptors. Safe for adults and children over 3 when used as directed. Spray onto your hands first before applying to children, avoiding hands, eyes and mouth.

    "Tick-borne illnesses — Lyme disease, alpha-gal syndrome, tick-borne encephalitis — can follow a single bite, and none have a guaranteed cure. Health authorities like the CDC recommend reducing bites through a combination of repellent, protective clothing, and tick checks after time outdoors.¹ Origen's plant-based formula is designed as one part of that routine; like all repellents, it should be reapplied regularly for continued protection."
