Encephalitis is much more rare, but it's much worse than lyme. And there's a stab for it. Meanwhile Lyme is much more common, but much simplier to treat. Which is basically „take antibiotics or 3 to 21 days“ depending on how long it's been since the bite.

What is an "encephalitis stab"?

In my whereabouts tick-born encephalitis is a much bigger issue. But thankfully vaccine for it exists.
