Crimean-Congo Haemorrhagic Fever (CCHF) is causing sufferers to bleed from the eyes and could be about to reach British shores. It was detected in ticks in the Pyrénées Orientales, on France’s northeastern border with Spain.
French public health authorities issued an update earlier this week, saying: “To date, no autochthonous cases (infections contracted in the country) have been detected in humans in France.”
This rare virus is generally found in warmer climates. For this reason, it is more commonly found in places like Africa, the Balkans, the Middle East, and Asia.
