Ticks are tiny - these two were embedded and easy to miss.

After time outdoors, check everywhere: under socks, waistbands, hairlines, toes... It only takes one bite.

🌲 Shady dog walks are sometimes the only option in heat of summer but don’t forget, ticks love the shade too.

🕷️ If you’ve been in long grass, woods or leafy trails, do a quick tick check when you get home.

❌ “Ticks aren’t in the UK.”
✅ Wrong. Very wrong.

One of our team’s teens schooled her class on tick risks during fieldwork, and she was right to do so.

Ticks are here, and they carry Lyme. Know the risks. Check for ticks. Stay safe.

The nymphs are so tiny. So easy for a bite to go unnoticed. You really need to look for them. #tickawareness #lymedisease

A male and a female adult tick, a nymph tick (about the size of a poppy seed) and a tiny larva are pictured on a thumbnail for scale. Note the larva only has six legs whereas the nymph and adults have eight. A second image shows a tick removal card next to a nymph.
