Ticks are tiny and so well camouflaged in dark clothing!
Lighter coloured trousers and socks are the way to go!

When I want to take a break from writing ✍️ but still want to work on my PhD, I use @BioRender to create figures specific to my project. This helps me recharge while staying on task 🧠

Just like people, #dogs are at risk of getting bitten by a tick and infected with #LymeDisease & other illnesses. Veterinarians share their expert tips on how to prevent tick bites and what to do if your dog has a tick attached, via @BestLifeOnline https://t.co/sjsBZq9Af2

@qubgradschool 🐾 Traditional antiparasitic treatments face resistance and environmental concerns, highlighting the need for a One Health approach. My research investigates how pet behaviors, influenced by owners and environments, impact parasite risk. #tweetyourthesis

[Tick Talk @TickTalk_QUB]

My PhD takes a #OneHealth look at ticks and tick-borne diseases in Northern Ireland. By recognising the interconnection between people, animals, and their shared environment, we can use comprehensive techniques to tackle the problem.

Don't let ticks & the potential risk of #LymeDisease stop you from enjoying the outdoors. 🌳🌲🌼🌺

Dr Kayleigh Hansford, our Principal Medical Entomologist, shares what to look out for & how to avoid being bitten. Read more: https://t.co/4b6T1n04p9 #BeTickAware #BeLymeAware

Tick-borne encephalitis and Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever are two viruses carried by ticks in Europe. There are other pathogens as well. https://t.co/5Q9qQZ1P2v #ticks

[ECDC @ECDC_EU]

Ready for the summer? Don't forget to protect yourself from ticks!

Ticks can carry pathogens that cause serious illnesses. Tick-borne encephalitis (#TBE) being one of them, can lead to issues with the central nervous system.

How to keep yourself safe?
