Lyme disease is something we should all be aware of, my aunt lives on the outskirts of Southampton and deer frequently come into her garden carrying lots of ticks, & two of her neighbours have caught it in the past year.
The symptoms can be quite random it seems, one of them got a red rash which was nowhere near where she got the tick attached to her. The doctors in the area seem to be well aware of Lyme's disease, if it's not caught early enough I think it can be deadly.
So if you do get ticks feeding on you and you get a fever/ rash or any other illness symptom go to your doctors and say Lyme's disease is a possibility- it really is a case of better safe than sorry.
