A warning has been issued after a new virus has been found in three areas of England. Brits should be alert as the new tick borne virus can cause meningitis, according to reports.
Tick borne encephalitis (TBEV) has most recently been detected across England, including in the country's first ever confirmed case. Three areas of England have been found to have TBEV present, but last year a case was confirmed in Yorkshire.
Alongside this, the virus has also been detected in Norfolk and in Hampshire/Dorset, however, it may be present elsewhere across the UK because the tick species that carries it, is widespread.
