Has anyone reading this had an Arbovirus before? (ie a viral infection from an arthropod, in this case, a tick)
Someone I know just went to hospital, as they suspect they have an infection from a tick they removed the other night.
I know it -can- become serious, leading, neurological impairment, brain damage, to coma or even death.
Does anyone know anything about it? Have experienced it personally?
Guess I just need to hear about and talk about it, hoping it might ease my mind while they are in hospital and I am helpless :/
