Like in previous years, there is a risk from ticks carrying the potentially deadly infection encephalitis, and as many as one in five can carry the bacterial infection borreliosis or Lyme disease. In 2009, more than 4,000 Czechs were infected with the latter, a disease which can have a long-term negative impact on health if not detected and treated quickly. As a result, specialists have said that anyone heading to the forests or parks in the coming days should take care. encr@radio.cz (Cesky Rozhlas)webmaster@radio.cz (CRo Webmaster) https://english.radio.cz/sites/default/files/images/kliste1.jpg?timestamp=1591426510 https://english.radio.cz/outdoor-goers-warned-take-extra-caution-during-tick-season-8572825 Radio Prague International Radio Prague International radio.prague.int@gmail.com clean 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
