5. Risk of Exposure To Tick-Borne Encephalitis

TBE is common in wooded regions of Eastern Europe, Asia, and rural areas of the U.S. Outside the U.S., the disease has greater prevalence when the distribution of the ixodid tick reservoir is higher. In America, the disease is more common April through August, and tends to be cyclical, as well. Those who enjoy outdoor activities in the woods are at a higher risk, as are those who consume raw milk.
