Climate change is pushing ticks carrying the deadly CCHF virus to move through Europe. The mortality rate is ~30% within 2 weeks. There is no widely-available vaccine.

I remember seeing billboards my first summer in Sverige saying to get vaccinated against tick-borne encephalitis (TBE), another virus I had never heard about in the US.

Warmer temperatures are transforming Europe into the perfect habitat for ticks carrying CCHF, a virus which in the worst cases results in death.

The disease is usually found in the Balkans, Africa, Asia, and the Middle East but could soon spread across Europe as climate change pushes the insects to move up through the continent, according to scientists.
