I have heard this somewhere before ( a friend of a friend) who is now elderly , she lives in Edinburgh and she had TBE when she was a young child. She has a tumor, CFS and had scans who said it 'looks like M.S) but she doesn't believe in doctors, and buys all sorts of multivitamins from the health shop than taking medication off her doctor. She a,so has I.B.S and is my friend's carer because he bas severe OCD and schizophrenia together. Thanks for this amazing video.
Thank you for the information. Maybe yo could answer a question i have.17 Years ago i became very sick after being bitten several times by ticks in the forests of southern Poland.I first had a flu like period before I fell ill, with bad headache and swelling at the base of my skul and tremblingl. after a few weeks of feeling tired and sort of off i developed a lot of the symptoms which may have been TBE (drooping eyelids, hard time lifting legs, arms and head, twitching muscles, pins and needles, double vision, low oxigen, migraine, heart rythm problems). i was tested for everything, and they found nothing. it took me at least 10 years to partially recover. i still have some reminders, unfortunately. in 2019 I heard about TBE and did the long term antibodies test. it came out slightly positive. i think it said 5 or 7.and i remember it said that you are considered to have tBE with a count of 20. The conclusion was that I didn't HAVE TBE. but could i have HAD it in 2004? could one have some antibodies after 15 years? Or would you have a lot still?
Excellent presentation! Thank you very much! EDIT: 8:38, not too sure if I interpreted the numbers correctly, so: - 4/5 are asymptomatic - 1/5 get symptoms; half of these get longterm neurol. sequelae; and around 1% of these die? Right?
Thank you for your comment, xDomglmao. The data for the timestamp you mentioned is from a WHO statement in 2004. It states that 35-58% patients affected by TBE experience long term neurological sequelae (outcomes) or death. The case fatality rate discussed below in blue is the number of deaths among the number of diagnosed cases, which range from 0.5-2% in general, up to 10% for a certain Russian strain. So somewhere between 1/3 and over half of those affected will experience long term neurological outcomes, and the risk of death from TBE is 0.5-10%, depending on the strain. I hope this helps!
Good day, thank you for video. Im from Latvia, and last summer friend of mine (vaccinated) cought tick. She didnt check tick in lab, but had some headache, and nothing else. Is it possible that after vaccination she experienced mild encephalitis? Or there should be 0 symptoms? Thank you in advance for clarification

Maybe you had lymes desease? which also infects the nervous system.
