ok so on a more serious note a friend text me and her brother has this going on right now and is in intensive care..... Does anyone know if there is some herbal meds that may help reduce the problem ? Encephalitis is irritation and swelling (inflammation) of the brain, most often due to infections. The virus causes inflammation of brain tissue. The brain tissue swells (cerebral edema), which may destroy nerve cells, cause bleeding in the brain (intracerebral hemorrhage), and brain damage. Encephalitis is most often caused by a viral infection. Many types of viruses may cause it. Exposure to viruses can occur through: Breathing in respiratory droplets from an infected person Contaminated food or drink Mosquito, tick, and other insect bites Skin contact Different viruses will occur in different locations. Many cases will tend to cluster in a certain season. Encephalitis caused by the herpes simplex virus is the leading cause of more severe cases in all ages, including newborns. A number of viruses for which there is now a vaccine may also cause encephalitis. These include: Measles Mumps Polio Rabies Rubella Varicella (chickenpox) Alexis Pantelides-Noonan help needed
