What Is Tick-Borne Encephalitis?

TBE is a viral infection that is transmitted through the insect bite of an infected Ixodes tick. TBE affects the central nervous system which can lead to neurological complications and can even be fatal in severe cases.

Tick-Borne Encephalitis Symptoms

The time between TBE exposure and the first symptoms typically appears between 7 to 14 days. Early symptoms of the virus can cause flu-like symptoms.

An advanced stage of TBE can include neurological conditions ranging from mild meningitis to severe encephalitis. The worst cases can lead to paralysis or permanent neurological damage.

Needed advice on a Saturday afternoon and discovered that there are very few pharmacy's open after lunchtime. Went to Miles pharmacy and the service was amazing. Came out with everything I needed and feeling reassured. Thank you

This is the best pharmacy. The lady on the front desk is always friendly, welcoming and very knowledgeable on both shop and prescription medicines. I have now changed to this pharmacy because of the great service.
