Lymes Disease is chronic if not treated and I know a sufferer, it really is miserable when it comes on.

Thanks for the tip. Tend to forget about things like that. I suffered in Northern Spain a few years ago - seriously not nice. Go careful folks. (Dartmoor and Exmoor are places in UK I have picked them up. A pack of Tick Removers are a std part of our Cali FAK.

Never had one on myself but regularly on the dogs. Less so where I walk in NE Scotland then when I was in Norway or visit friends in the Netherlands.
I tend to follow the advice of long trousers and long sleeves if I know I’m walking somewhere likely to have them - even on a hot mid summer day.

I resorted to bicycle clips in Span!!
Edit: Spain even!!

Currently, on a 28-day course of antibiotics after a number of tick bites last week which with I reacted to. A side effect of photographing our local deer. Despite all precautions, Ticks are everywhere.

Yes an often overlooked hazard.
My Brother-in-Law got Lymes disease from one, apparently from Deer on his Golf Course.
