News@lemmy.world•The Tick Situation Is Getting Worse. Here’s How to Protect Yourself. As temperatures rise, ticks of several kinds are flourishing in ways that threaten people’s health.
3·5 months agoIt’s probably a good general advice to ask your doctor for “local” vaccinations whenever you move.
The encephalitis vaccine is very common here in southern Germany, but usually skipped in the north where ticks are quite uncommon (which is reasonable, since it’s pretty aggressive, being sick for a day or two after the jab is not unlikely).

4·5 months agoDang, what a shitty doctor.
Although I think my perspective is a bit skewed, having grown up in a tick hotspot here in Germany. Everyone is aware of ticks here, pretty sure it’s taught in elementary school. And the encephalitis vaccine is pretty much standard, too.

15·7 months agoSmall correction: the NPD was not banned because they were largely irrelevant. They had little to no influence on politics, which is why the court argued that a ban would be inappropriate.

131·7 months agoRegardless of the context, 20 years for non-lethal assault is a ridiculous sentence (and utter waste of taxpayer money). Fix your penal codes, USA (or at least add it to the list of things that need fixing)

12·8 months agoThey made the completely idiotic call to arrest him, making him into an icon. But yeah, now they have to follow through with making him a martyr.
