More than 20% of ticks in Bulgaria are infected with Lyme disease That's what Professor Todor Kantardzhiev, director of the National Center for Infectious and Parasitic Diseases, said.

As for ticks after heavy rains in recent days, he gave 3 basic tips to keep if we want to protect ourselves.
"Do not go where there are ticks, do not let your kids go, always look for ticks because the tick, if it's a little upright – a few hours on the body – can not convey the 39th infection and the third – that we are an instruction, RHI is spread all over the country, on the site of each RZI, the site can read on the site what is done in the mite " , said Kantardzhiev, quoted by Focus.
Spit against the tick is good, but it should not rain so there should be a series of dry days, he explained.
In order to avoid summer viruses, Professor Kantardjiev warned that foods of animal origin should be well heat treated
"Well cooked, cooked well, do not eat meatballs, well grated." And something important – Any pet food that stays longer than 4 hours at room temperature, not in the fridge, is already dangerous to health he says
Professor Kantardzhiev warned that there were many cases of measles in neighboring Bulgaria – in eastern Serbia, in northern Greece and in Romania. In this context, Bulgaria "is doing well", he said.
