HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF AGAINST LYME DISEASE AND TBE DURING SPRING WALKS?

14 April 2025

Spring is a time of increased tick activity

Spring walks in the forest, park or meadow are a great way to relax and connect with nature. Unfortunately, in such places it is easy to come across ticks that can carry dangerous diseases such as Lyme disease or tick-borne encephalitis (TBE). That is why it is worth remembering the rules of protection against ticks and knowing the first symptoms of tick-borne diseases.

What diseases do ticks transmit?

Ticks are carriers of many dangerous pathogens. The most common tick-borne diseases are:

  • Lyme disease – a bacterial disease that may present with erythema migrans, joint pain, and neurological symptoms.
  • Tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) – a viral disease that can lead to serious neurological complications.
  • Rarer infections, such as anaplasmosis or babesiosis, can also cause serious health problems.

Where can you catch a tick?

Ticks are not found exclusively in forests. They can also be found:

  • in city parks,
  • in meadows and clearings,
  • in home gardens,
  • on allotments and in tall grass.

That's why even a regular walk with your dog can end with a dangerous prick. 

How to recognize a tick bite?

A tick bite is painless, so it often goes unnoticed. It is worth paying attention to:

  • Erythema migrans – characteristic redness around the injection site,
  • flu-like symptoms: fever, headache, muscle pain,
  • concentration problems, joint pain, fatigue – these may appear even several weeks after the injection.

How to effectively protect yourself against ticks?

To minimize the risk of being bitten, follow these rules:

1. Appropriate clothing

  • Wear long pants, socks, and long-sleeved shirts.
  • Tuck your pants into your shoes – it will be harder for ticks to get to your skin.

2. Use repellents

  • Use repellents containing DEET or picaridin.

3. Check your body carefully after a walk

  • Especially the groin area, armpits, behind the ears, and the bends of the knees and elbows.
  • The tick should be removed as soon as possible – preferably using tweezers or a special lasso.

4. Consider vaccination

  • Vaccination against tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) is an effective form of protection – also available in our facilities.

If you notice redness or disturbing symptoms after a walk in a green area, do not delay visiting a doctor. 

Want to know more? Listen to podcasts WHAT DOES YOUR DOCTOR SAY?.

Cycle TICK-BORNE DISEASES explains in an accessible way how Lyme disease is treated, when it is worth doing tests, and what to do after a tick bite.

Harvest Festival in Kobierzyce 2026. Check what your doctor has prepared

The Kobierzyce Municipal Harvest Festival is, of course, an opportunity for fun, but also, as is tradition, for discussions about health. On Saturday and Sunday, August 22nd and 23rd, the NZOZ Twój Lekarz team will meet with residents to combine the celebration with preventative care and health education.

How to effectively protect yourself against tick-borne diseases?

Finding a tick on your skin is usually alarming. However, a bite alone doesn't mean you're infected. Ticks can be found not only in forests but also in parks, allotments, and neighborhood lawns. The key is quick action, monitoring your body, and thorough knowledge.
