When A came home yesterday and I took him for a shower he had 2 ticks on him! :O Disgusting little animals that might carry a virus called TBE click here for wikipedia article on it. Risks are only in parts of Sweden and even in those parts only a few ticks carry it so reason tells me there is no need to worry but I cant help it, I feel sick to my stomach when I think about it. The area where we are from is a bit of a grey zone, it might be part of the riskzone and it might not be, its all a bit vague. However I did read that kids under 7 normally cope better if they do get it. Now Im thinking for next year we have to try to give the kids the vaccine that exists, all this worry is not worth it! I now have to stay worrying for up to a month and hope that he stays fine.
