Been bitten by a tick? Don’t panic. Read the advice below from @lymeresourcecentre.bsky.social #TickBitePreventionWeek
lymeresourcecentre.bsky.social Lyme Resource Centre @lymeresourcecentre.bsky.social · Mar 27
It can be hard to know if you’ve been bitten by a tick.

Ticks can be tiny, their bites are painless & the bite area may not be itchy or painful.

Remove ticks promptly & carefully using a tick removal tool / fine tipped tweezers.

🚨 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.

Do watch this animation by @lymediseaseuk.bsky.social and buy yourself a ticket removal tool. If you can’t find one in a pharmacy (how crazy is that?) you can buy them online or pop in to your local vet. @lymeresourcecentre.bsky.social @lymediseaseuk.bsky.social sell them.

If you are in or around Cambridge UK, join us at the @cambridgefestival.bsky.social family weekend on 29th and 30th March. Stop by my stand and learn some tick bite prevention techniques in #TickBitePreventionWeek. Sharing resources from @lymeresourcecentre.bsky.social @lymediseaseuk.bsky.social
Graphic containing the Cambridge Festival pink logo and four Fast Facts on Lyme disease. It is caused by bacteria Borrelia - the bacteria can be passed to human through the bite of an infected tick. It can cause a distinctive rash called an EM rash, but not everyone with the disease will have one. Not all ticks are the same - there are around 20 different species of tick in the UK. Bites can be missed by patients - nymph ticks (the immature stage) can be as small as a poppy seed.

How do ticks spread Lyme disease?

Ticks pass through 3 life stages: larva, nymph & adult, & require a blood meal in each stage.

The tick may become infected during one feed before transmitting infections during its next feed.
