Ticks are small parasites that are active in the warmer months of the year and can transmit diseases such as TBE (tick-borne encephalitis) and Lyme disease. Children in particular are at risk when playing outdoors. At the paediatric outpatient clinic in Margareten, we will provide you with comprehensive information on suitable protection, symptoms and the correct measures to take in the event of a bite.

Effective protection starts with suitable clothing, repellents and regular skin checks after spending time outdoors. Should a bite nevertheless occur, it is important to remove it quickly and correctly - we are happy to take care of this professionally at our outpatient centre.
