9 July 2024 at 06:42 Record number of Lyme disease cases so far this year The tick abounds in Norway. Never before have as many cases of the disease Lyme borreliosis been reported as in the first half of 2024, NTB writes. A total of 175 cases have been reported to the Norwegian Institute of Public Health (FHI), 16 more than last year. The reason for the increase is difficult to determine. FHI points out that temperature and humidity are decisive for the tick’s living conditions. How many people are on the trip and what they are wearing also play a role. In addition, increased knowledge about ticks among the population and doctors can lead to more people being diagnosed, according to FHI.
