Not very local, but I heard of someone in Somerset about three weeks ago. Their dog also got Addison's disease.

There's been a problem with it in a town near Stoke for centuries.

Daughter of a guy I work with. Not diagnosed initially and has led to continuing long term issues and lots of money trying to find solutions. Sounds horrendous

Got the first symptoms, lethargy, headaches and generally feeling like shite when I was working in SW Aus years ago. We were in the bush all day and I picked up one on the back of my neck. My mate held a cigarette end to the body and the whole thing came out. Rubbed some Vodka on the bite wound and was fine the next day. Daily groin and armpit searches were standard!

I Had the symptoms and the rash last year after a camping trip in Sweden. Had to take antibiotics for 3 weeks. not had any recurrence so far.

The bite usually has a characteristic bulls-eye appearance rather than a red lump. If you're unsure, ask your doctor for a blood test.

The US House of Representatives is currently investigating whether there might be a bio-weapons link to Lyme Disease.

My teenage employer in Hassocks had it really bad about 10 years or so ago. It was very very rare at that stage and from memory it really effected his nervous system as it went untreated for ages as they didn't know what was wrong with him. From my understanding it has become a lot more common in recent years. I think he got it from a tick bite whilst playing Golf at Pycombe but as others have said look out for the bullseye rash.

In the day you would just turn your B&H around hold it on the tick until it dropped off, prevention is better than cure.

If only we could do this with Cooper and co.

Did it cause a small red lump, with maybe another one or two close by? If they cause no discomfort at all unless rubbed, it could be bed bugs (which are on the increase).

Tick.

I too ticked off that ground in the pre-season friendly
Not sure what you meant, though
