▸ During his first week of vacation at the new summer resort in Stockholm’s Skärgård, Emil Karlsson, 41, got a tick bite. A bite that caused Emil to suffer from TBE, encephalitis and inflammation of the spinal cord. Today, four years later, he is still in a wheelchair and can no longer do the things he used to love. – I want people to know how bad TBE can actually make you, he says.
