even if i do have lymes diseas ive decided i wont stop enjoying the countryside, i am now very cautious of ticks, today i was looking for adders and slow worms and common lizards (found none) but i picked lots of ticks of my clothes, i dont really want to stop going to that site as its my nearest adder location, but its so tick infested. |
Hmm - yes you are right to go back.
BUT
Tests are unreliable and Drs should treat on the clinical picture.
Read the threads on tick bites and Lyme dis on this forum, and print off a leaflet and go well prepared.
