Public Health England says it has confirmed cases of tick-borne encephalitis virus in ticks from two parts of England - Thetford Forest and an area on the Hampshire-Dorset border.It is monitoring the situation to check how common the infected ticks may be.A tick is a tiny, spider-like creature that lives in undergrowth and on animals, including deer and dogs.

Tick-borne encephalitis virus is already circulating in mainland Europe and Scandinavia, as well as Asia.How it got here is less clear. Experts say infected ticks may have hitched a ride on migratory birds. Ticks are becoming more common across many parts of the UK, largely due to increasing deer numbers. Being bitten by one doesn't necessarily mean you will get sick.

There is a vaccine, maybe you should have mentioned this? Maybe tell them what it is (TBE) and how bad it can be? Get vaccinated if you are going to be at risk of tick borne encephalitis (TBE) Chances are small but encephalitis is not nice.

Has soneone checked the UKLabour front bench?

Something, something, Brexit. Probably. All over the comments.

It’s a loony remoaner tick. You don’t have to look far to see who is infected. Apparently it was brought into the country in a contaminated gin bottle, consumed by ann soubry one morning and has transmitted around MPs ever since.

Thankfully Winter's around the corner , let's hope we get a long sub zero winter kill the things off

How are they getting here?

Well they're arachnids, but how else are they alike in a practical sense? Are scorpions spider-like?

Who would ever imagined that dangerous killer parasites have been introduced into the Uk.

Knowing the uk it will blame either boris or brexit

Just see all the remainers foaming at the mouth at democracy and you know it has been in UK since 2016.

Free movement of people

TheLongtheShor1 this explains everything now 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

So parliament's reason. I had bn wondering with so many remainders tht Joe public's vote not happening. Scared to run a country without EU templates to hand.

Tick borne illness is not taken seriously enough in Great Britain - if you contract limes disease but don’t have all the obvious immediate symptoms you will have all sorts of problems getting any tests etc - sadly this new disease could end up the same.

fuckcancer56 beneficialnematodes should be used globally for these bastards. took two years of spraying BN to get rid of them on my property - haven't seen one since.

fuckcancer56 what purpose do ticks serve? they're horrible disgusting creatures who need to be obliterated!

So that's what has infested Parliament :(

It's been here a while.

Does this explain why the leave vote won?

So that’s why people vote labour!

Yes it affects remainers let every thing come in is the philosophy uncontrolled

Nervous tics?

tick-borne encephalitis vaccine – recommended for travellers to certain parts of Europe (but not the UK) and. Asia. Maybe it should be available in the UK?

That explains Brexit .

It’s expressed itself through Remain parliamentarians.

Are they wanting to take R cuntry back?
