Question: Do I need to be vaccinated against tick-borne encephalitis and what should I do if I got bitten by a tick?
Koltsov S.V. (from a lecture in Magnitogorsk, 2010): That's when we rafted with us we were not allowed to go on the route from the company until we were vaccinated. We have 10-12 people in our company, two of them got sick. Failed 7 days. That is, there vaccinations are extremely unpleasant, painful. I do not know what to do with tick-borne encephalitis, indeed, an exotic thing. And whether this year, or in the past, there was their invasion. Even in the forests near Moscow, where they never existed. And this year it was spring unmeasured. They say that if a tick bites - and immediately at the site of the bite, then there are fewer consequences. No one has specifically checked. Moreover. Specialists from the Tomsk Military Medical Academy called me, they were not interested in encephalitis, but in some other infection that ticks began to drag from Europe (Lyme disease). Here it is necessary to conduct a special study. Here is a beekeeper conducted a study. 50 main types of parasites of bees strangle one. It is with open eyes. And here it is necessary to check whether some exotic is choking or not..
