\u00a0 \u00a0It will last until early July. And although there are only 5% of infected spiders, Kazakhstan is an endemic zone, there can be up to 20% of them. In addition, in our region there is a more aggressive type of ticks — Far Eastern.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0According to official data, in 2025, more than 16 thousand people applied for medical help after tick bites, of which more than 12 thousand, about 40% of them are children. In 2026, there were already 478 such people, about 49% of them are children. Regions endemic for tick-borne encephalitis in Kazakhstan include Almaty and its environs, Zhetysu, East Kazakhstan, Almaty, Akmola and North Kazakhstan regions.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 «Ticks are most active in April when they wake up after winter and start actively looking for a food source. However, the dangerous period remains until July,» — said the infectious disease doctor of the National Hospital Saule Shagmanova, — Increased attention should be paid when visiting mountainous and foothill areas, steppe and semi-desert zones. That is why people who live and work in these zones are vaccinated, but this must be done as a prevention in February, before the start of activity.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0What to do with a tick bite:<\/span><\/p>

  • gently remove the tick with tweezers without crushing it;<\/span><\/li>
  • treat the bite site with an antiseptic;<\/span><\/li>
  • it is better to contact the emergency room for professional removal;<\/span><\/li>
  • hand over the tick for laboratory research to sanitary and epidemiological services.<\/span><\/li><\/ul>

    \u00a0 \u00a0Diagnosis of possible infections is carried out using modern methods: PCR, ELISA (antibodies), as well as IgG\/IgM blood tests. The examination is recommended to take place 5-7 days after the bite, when an immune response is formed in the body.<\/span><\/p>

    \u00a0 \u00a0The first symptoms of tick-borne infections can resemble a common viral infection: fever, headache, weakness. In case of complications, treatment is carried out with the participation of neurologists.<\/span><\/p>

    \u00a0 \u00a0Doctors urge Kazakhstanis to take precautions: use protective clothing, repellents, regularly examine the body after being in nature and seek medical help in a timely manner. Encephalitis, although a rare disease, is very dangerous, causing paralysis of the central nervous system.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
