Doctor Igor Alentov: tick-borne encephalitis can cause meningitis. If you have been bitten by a tick or found one on yourself and have any doubts, you should consult a doctor for an examination.
The main season of tick activity is April - November, the doctor warned. It is recommended that people who often visit forests, as well as those involved in gardening and agriculture, be vaccinated, he said. As for the vaccine against borreliosis, clinical trials are currently being conducted, but there is no vaccine available.
