The first case of tickborne encephalitis has already been registered in Estonia this year. The bugs become active in early spring, and vaccination is recommended.
Wednesday's Raadio 2 program "Paev", spoke to Mattis Rätsep who spent 10 days in intensive care after contracting the viral infection. After that, recovery took around six weeks.
Rätsep said the disease had two stages. During the first, he experienced symptoms similar to a mild cold, but the second was far worse. Two weeks later he came down with a 40-degree fever, nausea, severe headache, and dizziness. He then developed meningitis. Now, Rätsep is in good health again...
