Ticks
As the tick season gets underway it never hurts to remind that tick-borne diseases can be particularly nasty (I speak through experience) and anything you can do to minimise your expose to ticks is a good thing. Have a look at http://www.lymediseaseaction.org.uk/ for useful information about ticks and how to deal with them. Ticks don’t care who you are, what you’re doing in the countryside or how old you are…so a good tick check regime is vital if you’ve been out and about. Don’t forget that dogs can get Lyme disease too.
