VACCINATION
Tick-borne encephalitis
Contagion/Transmission
The infection occurs mainly by sucking on an infected tick, less often by consuming raw milk, unpasteurized dairy products from infected animals. The infection is transmitted as soon as two hours after being bitten by an infected tick.
An endangered group
Unvaccinated individuals are a vulnerable group.
Incubation period
1-2 weeks, max. 4 weeks
Symptoms
It often occurs in two phases, but it also happens in one phase or without symptoms. The first phase usually lasts 3-5 days, manifests itself uncharacteristically - muscle and joint pain, increased temperature, headache, fatigue, loss of appetite. After a few days of improvement, the second phase can come - already developed inflammation of the brain and meninges. High fever, neck stiffness, severe headaches, vomiting, photophobia appear. Other symptoms include tremors, dizziness, disorientation. In severe cases, limb or respiratory muscle paralysis occurs. Long-lasting or permanent consequences can be, for example, chronic headaches, sleep disorders, concentration disorders, depression, tremors, balance disorders or limb muscle paralysis.
Prevention
The treatment is only symptomatic, the most suitable protection is vaccination. However, ticks also transmit diseases against which we do not have vaccinations, so it is important to protect yourself not only when walking in nature.
