“Acaricide processing was held in the children’s childrend’s camps “Belka,” “Zarya,” “Chayka,” “Solnechnaya Dolina,” health resort “Niva” and recreation camp in village Lipyagi in Spassky area,” the spokesman added.

Alexander Dmitriev pointed out that the situation in health resort “Berezovaya Roscha” causes alarm because its administration “does not want to deal with this problem.”

“There are posters saying “Beware of mites” throughout the resort, but acaricide processing is not organized. People buy tours to “Berezovaya Roscha” not to get borrelia there,” said the chief of Penza regional office of Russian Agency for Health and Consumer Rights.
