“…The respondents correctly regarded Podlasie and Warmia and Mazury Provinces as the regions with the highest risk; however, none of the interviewed subjects mentioned the Małopolska Province. Clinically, Lyme disease is a multisystemic disease inducing numerous dermatological, cardiac, neurological and arthral pathologies [13][14][15][16]. The respondents thought fever (65%) was the first symptom of Lyme disease, followed by painful rash (33%) in the form of erythema migrans which, according to the foresters and the university students, lasted for 2-4 weeks, whereas in the opinion of the secondary school students those symptom persisted only for 1 week.…”

Objectives: The first aim was an attempt to evaluate the level of knowledge on Lyme disease among people whose profession involves working in the forest; the second -recognition of the health problems that should be included in health education programmes concerning Lyme disease in this group of professionals. Materials and Methods: The study was performed on 159 subjects. Results: Only 15% know the etiological factor of disease, 98% -the main cause of infection, and route of pathogen transmission. Conclusion: Propagation of knowledge on Lyme disease, particularly among risk group people, is not satisfactory. Little knowledge on tick risk among secondary school students indicate the necessity for cooperation between teachers, epidemiologists, and health service providers in order to propagate the knowledge on parasites, symptoms, spread and methods of prevention.
