Moscow. June 11. INTERFAX.RU — IN Russia started the peak of the danger of ticks, the probability of catching the tick-borne encephalitis appears in the Tver region, and Lyme disease — in any region, in Moscow suburbs — from every third tick, warns the Director of the Institute for medical Parasitology, tropical and vector-borne diseases name martynovskogo sechenovskiy University of Minzdrav of Russia, Alexander Lukashev.
“May and June — the peak season for ticks. So now when out in the woods or on nature it is necessary to consider the danger. Ticks can be carriers of tick-borne encephalitis, Lyme disease and other bacterial diseases”, — quotes the words Lukasheva press service Ministry of health on Thursday.
Residents of regions with high incidence of the disease is recommended to be vaccinated and to take maximum measures for protection from ticks.
“as for Lyme disease, they can be infested with ticks throughout Russia. In the Moscow region on average every third is infected with the mite. Lyme disease is a serious disease that can become chronic and cause severe damage to the joints and nervous system. It treated with prescribed antibiotics, but they are most effective only during the first days with the onset of the disease. If Lyme disease is started and has reached the articular and the neurological stage, treat it extremely difficult,” — said Lukashev.
it Therefore recommends that the nature of the use of special repellents, wear closed, tight-fitting trousers, high shoes, after a walk to inspect themselves — ticks often hide in the folds of the body and underwear.
“In the case of a tick bite is required to remove (an insect with the body if) as soon as possible — the risk of Contracting Lyme disease depends on the time of suction. To remove the insect it is better to go to the emergency room, but you can do it on their own. To remove a tick have tweezers with soft lips smooth porochivshimi movements, trying not to tear the body from the head, to prevent further inflammation,” advises Lukashev.
If the suction of the tick occurred in a region endemic for tick-borne encephalitis, and the person has not been vaccinated, you must go to the nearest emergency room where the doctor’s testimony introduces the immunoglobulin. The drug has to be administered as early as possible — within a maximum of 72 hours after the bite, preferably within 24-48 hours.
Summer is also a great likelihood of catching an intestinal infection, so you must carefully monitor the cleanliness of hands, to observe the rules of hygiene and rules of storage of products, especially dairy and meat and minimal consumption of those products, which have not been properly conveyed without compliance with thetemperature mode, said Lukashev.
At the same time COVID-19 to get in the woods is almost impossible, but “if in the woods on skewers going company people, the risk of infection by coronavirus is the same as in a public place.”
“we should also speak about the role of children and adolescents in the transmission of coronavirus. Practice has shown that they often suffer from Kovalam asymptomatic and can be carriers of the virus. Of course, it is very difficult to stop the child from sharing games with their peers, but there is a risk of spreading the virus, I recommend to limit contact between the children — for older and older relatives, they can become a serious threat,” said Lukashev.
for its part, the Russian Ministry of health urges not to neglect the rules of personal security and to remain committed to the “mask” mode on weekends.
