Good morning, I have an unusual question. Is tick-borne encephalitis contagious? My boyfriend's cousin suffers from it. My partner recently visited her in the hospital. Is there a risk of infection? Please advise, on different pages opinions are divided, and I am stressed that I will get infected

Tick-borne encephalitis is not transmitted between people. Infection occurs mainly in the situation of a bite by an infected tick; much less often by ingestion as a result of the consumption of raw milk of an infected animal. In case of any doubts, I encourage you to contact your doctor.
