Strongly increased risk of ticks in Meise, Tervuren and Hoeilaart

“Environmental factors include the occurrence of nature reserves and the deer population,” says Vermoesen. “They exist in Meise, but also in other municipalities. Signs know no municipal boundaries. The map therefore gives a distorted picture. Ticks have been around forever, it’s not a new problem. You can also pick them up in other municipalities, they are widely distributed.”
