Tick Aware 

UKHSA is encouraging people to ‘be tick aware’ this tick season. Ticks can be active all year round, but they are most active in the months April to July. As the warmer weather encourages more of us to be out and about enjoying the great outdoors, the UK Health Security Agency are encouraging we are ‘tick aware’. This includes knowing where ticks are found, how to reduce the risk of being bitten and how to remove them safely and quickly as some tick bites can result in infections such as Lyme disease. Find out more on the UK Health Security Agency’s blog, link below https://ukhsa.blog.gov.uk/2024/03/21/what-is-lyme-disease-and-why-do-we-need-to-be-tick-aware/
