The Lymes disease thread has got me thinking about all the different things we need to be careful of just in the UK, even though it's got to be one of the safest places to be outdoors there's still lots of consideration needed when going about and being in the outdoors, Lymes disease for instance and there's many others.
I thought it would be a good idea to create a thread where we list them and over time it will grow into a good list. We're interested in things you can catch, get bitten by etc outdoors rather than all the other nasty things that happen to us no matter what.
Tetanus is another one that i'm conscious of as it's everywhere and my Dad told me some horror stories from when he was younger. I think it's way beyond the 10 years now for me to have a booster, although I think that they have done away with teh boosters and mixed it with some other injection....diphtheria?
