A Foreign Office backed resource has sounded the alarm after a case Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever was found in a Spanish town.
A serious illness has been detected in Spain that is fatal in nearly 30 per cent of cases, sparking a warning from health officials.
As reported by Bristol Live, it said: “The patient remains admitted, stable in serious condition, at the Salamanca Hospital, where the protocolized epidemiological and care measures have been adopted. Travel Health Pro states that in the past, the disease has been transmitted through human to human contact "as a result of exposure to blood, secretions, or other bodily fluids of infected persons".
"Likewise, it must be insisted that any ticks that may have attached must be removed as soon as possible and appropriately, preferably by health professionals.”
