Whats best to do if you get bitten by a tick

Huge tick

I was horrified the other day to hear that a friend of mine had actually been poorly for months and what was the cause of this illness ……… a tick!

It seems that way back in the summer she had been out for a country walk and unbeknown to her she must have been bitten by a tick. I am told they are often found close to where deers graze and these were prevalent in this area.

Some weeks later she started to feel really ill with unexplained weakness in her limbs and terrible fatigue. Eventually she was taken to hospital and was finally diagnosed after many tests with Lyme disease.
