Various pathogens can be transmitted by ticks. The most widespread and best-known diseases in the northern Hemisphere are borreliosis and tick-borne encephalitis (TBE).
Since 2005, the number of TBE-infected persons in Switzerland has fluctuated between 100-250 cases per year. The better climatic conditions for ticks and the fact that more people spend time outside have led to a significant increase in TBE infections in recent years.
Lyme borreliosis can be transmitted by infected ticks throughout Switzerland. The FOPH has declared Switzerland as a TBE risk area, except for the cantons of Geneva and Ticino.
An infection initially begins harmlessly with reddening at the site of the injection. In the second stage, serious illnesses can occur with possible effects on the joints, nervous system, skin or even the heart.Insufficient treatment can lead to permanent disabilities!
