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.
