“First” diagnosed, but almost certainly not the first case of Babesiosis in the UK @LymeAction thread/1

[About Time for Lyme @AboutTime4Lyme]

Tick numbers continue to rise & there's a wealth of evidence supporting existence of chronic #Lyme.

Questions remain, but as with other threats to #publichealth, tick-borne diseases aren't going to wait around until we've got it all figured out.

For some people, the symptoms of Lyme disease never go away after treatment. Now we have clues about why this happens https://t.co/kGe3GzeOL4

🌿Today is the last day of #LymeDiseaseAwareness month 🌿
Ticks aren't going anywhere, however, so it's crucial to remain #tickaware. These simple steps could make all the difference, so let's keep the awareness going #TickingTheBoxes

[About Time for Lyme @AboutTime4Lyme]

Important & timely reminder - stick to tracks when out and about this weekend

[New Forest NPA @NewForestNPA]

To protect yourself from tick bites & reduce the risks of #LymeDisease stay on the main wide tracks in the #NewForest & don't go on the small pony tracks or through bracken & fern.

If you're making a sweet escape to a garden/park/nature during your #lockdown exercise, make sure not to bring any ticks back! If you do - remove & observe closely.

#TickAwareness is an essential part of protecting good #health.

[About Time for Lyme @AboutTime4Lyme]

Ticks don't just carry #Lymedisease. With tick-borne encephalitis found in UK ticks, there's all the more reason to #betickaware

Brain illness spread by ticks has reached UK https://t.co/m9SvXPfBeL

[About Time for Lyme @AboutTime4Lyme]

Thanks @guardian for raising awareness of new research showing much higher incidence of #Lymedisease in the UK than previously thought.

Better #awareness, #prevention and early #diagnosis are crucial.
@BMJ_Open @rcgp

[About Time for Lyme @AboutTime4Lyme]

New @BMJ_Open paper concludes that incidence of #Lymedisease in the UK is about threefold higher than previously estimated, and people are at risk throughout the UK.

Better #awareness needed at all levels

One of the threats posed by #climatechange that we need to be talking more about - the rise of #Lymedisease

With tick numbers continuing to rise, better awareness is becoming increasingly urgent.
