Ticks

[aitch]

I've worked on our estate in West Yorkshire for 7 years and never once got one. But on Friday after walking through bracken my dog picked one up. They're on the move! Bit of a game changer.

 

I've a couple of mates in other parts of the country who've had lymes disease and it really set them back for a over a year.

Is there a private testing service for this disease aimed at ageing hypochondriacs?

 

Did the child get bitten by a tick and infect the rest of the familly?

If the tick has been attached to your skin longer than eight hours, it may already be swollen. Use the Care Plus® Tick Test to immediately determine whether the tick is carrying Borrelia bacteria, which causes Lyme disease. This (self-)diagnosis test provides a reliable result within 20-30 minutes. If the result is positive, your doctor can start treating you immediately and increase the likelihood of success.

 

Just something i've found. Never tried it myself
