‘A cold sore on the brain had life changing impact
THE devastating consequences of encephalitis have been highlighted this week, after a local teenager embarked on an awareness campaign.
Naomi Hargan (17) from Douglas Bridge told of how “a cold sore on the brain” had a life-changing impact on her grandmother Bridie.
Initially it was thought Bridie (76) had the flu in March 2019 when she took ill to her bed. However it soon became clear that the popular local woman’s condition was much worse than first thought as she was becoming frighteningly confused. After a visit by her GP, she was soon hospitalised with encephalitis.
