Citizens traveling to areas of greatest activity mites, as well as living on them, it is recommended flu vaccine against tick-borne encephalitis. Remember that vaccinations against tick-borne encephalitis should start 2.5 months prior to departure in the troubled territory. The vaccination consists of several injections, depending on the administered drug, the minimum interval between them - 2 months.

Vaccinated individuals drug is administered in the case of multiple sucking ticks, Introduction of immunoglobulin effectively within the first 72 hours after sucking ticks. Reference: Ixodid ticks are carriers of pathogens (viruses, bacteria, protozoa) natural focal diseases (tick-borne encephalitis, Lyme borreliosis, haemorrhagic fever, Crimea-Congo, tularemia and other). On the territory of Russia there are about 60 species of иксодид, of which the greatest epidemiological significance as carriers of the virus of tick-borne spring-summer encephalitis virus and Borrelia - agents, Lyme borreliosis, have the taiga tick Ixodes Persulcatus and forest tick Iricinus. In the middle strip of the first mites appear in early spring in the Sunny days on the thawed patches, peak numbers of Mature mites in may - June. The forest tick and a second period of its activity - in August-September, but the number of ticks in this time is somewhat lower than in the spring. It was at this time ticks are often attacked and per person. Ticks are concentrated along the trails and crawl against the person with vegetation. Remember that ticks attach themselves to a person is not immediately, and observance of simple preventive measures can be diagnosed faster ticks and avoid dangerous diseases, the faster will be found and removed from the body of присосавшийся mite, the smaller dose of the pathogen he will give the person. Reliable protection against tick-borne encephalitis vaccines is. As a rule, tick bites are painless. The stuck tick only be found during the inspection or by accident when mite already partially was saturated and increased in size. In places of stings usually occurs inflammation, which is expressed in the appearance of red spots on the site of the bite, which can persist for a long time.
