🚨 Tick Check Time! 🚨
After spending time outdoors, it’s crucial to do a thorough tick check on yourself, your family, and your pets. These tiny hitchhikers love to hide in warm, moist places.

Hand pointing at a small tick on light blue fabric, with text advising to check skin and clothing for ticks after outdoor activities.

I didn't used to expect ticks until May but had huge numbers on me in Cambs woodland this weekend. It's been -2C at night and only 13C by day. This hazard for early spring fieldwork is pretty new, not something I worried about in March. Affects fieldwork approach and precautions needed. #BeTickAware

Clean the bite, check your body & pets, and monitor for symptoms or a spreading rash.
