Non-vaccine preventable risks
Haemorrhagic Fever with Renal Syndrome is a viral illness spread to humans via the saliva, urine and faeces of infected rodents. It is unusual for travellers to be affected unless living in poor sanitary conditions or bathing and washing in contaminated water.
Lyme Disease is transmitted to humans from infected ticks, with animals such as rodents, dogs, deers and birds being responisble for spreading the tick over wide areas. Symptoms after being bitten can include a rash, body aches and more rarely neurological ailments such as facial palsy and meningitis. The risk to travellers is highest in the temperate areas in North America including the east coastal states, Europe and Scandanavia. Avoidance of tick bites where possible is recommended.
