The scale of the problem is evidenced by the fact that in November 2022, the Committee on the Environment, Public He alth and Food Safety of the European Parliament unanimously adopted a motion for a resolution establishing cooperation between EU countries in the early diagnosis and prevention of Lyme disease.
Earlier this year, the US Congress decided to allocate additional funding to fight and research this insidious disease.

A person infected by a tick may suffer from, among others, headaches, joint and muscle aches, chronic fatigue, low mood, irritability, problems with concentration.

many years of therapy. problems with the nervous system - palsy of the cranial nerves, nerve root paralysis, meningitis, arthritis, muscle inflammationcardiac.
Ticks are found not only in the forest and in the meadow, but also in the city park and on the lawn in front of the house, and even in attics. Their peak of activity falls in the period from May to September, but they can be encountered for almost twelve months. The likelihood of transmitting Lyme disease spirochetes increases with each hour of tick presence on humans: after 48 hours it reaches 50%.
Ticks can also infect other diseases, such as: anaplasmosis, human neoehrlichiosis, babesiosis, bartonellosis, Q fever, tick-borne encephalitis (TBE). There is no effective vaccine against Lyme disease, so the only remedy is awareness.
