Since 2010, the number of tick bites increased by 30% was told about ten months ago in the news. That means that 1.5 million people get a tick bite per year. The number of increases in tick bites that are so rising has to do with the ever higher temperatures in the Netherlands and because of those higher temperatures there are more and more signs. The coronacrisis also ensures that we sit more at home, work in our gardens, we go for a walk in nature and the woods and the chance that you catch a tick bite is therefore greater.

Usually in the months of June and July you have the chance of contracting a tick bite. Often because the weather is hot in summer, the shorts or skirt are put on again and they pull out with bare legs, barefoot into nature. A tick bite can cause borrelia infection, also called Lyme disease. That is the most famous infectious disease that we know from the tick.
Lyme disease is an infectious disease that damages the nervous system. There are 27,000 people per year who get Lyme disease. Most can be treated with an antibiotic, but there is also a group of people who keep persistent complaints.

But did you know that in addition to Lyme disease, you can get two other infections from a tick that can also cause complaints to very serious complaints.?
Honestly, I had no idea about.

Yesterday, a message came out that it is about TBE. At present, there is a trend in the increase in this virus infection.
Unfortunately, there is no medicine against a TBE infection, but one can get vaccinated. I'm going to explain here exactly what TBE is.
