Bavaria is a risk area: Tick season starts earlier - this is what you need to take into account now. Since the beginning of the year, five TBE cases have been reported to the Bavarian State Office for Health and Food Safety.
TBE is a serious disease that causes inflammation of the meninges, brain or spinal cord. In addition to the TBE virus, ticks can also transmit the Lyme disease pathogen. This disease occurs much more frequently in Bavaria than in other parts of Germany.
