This is a very good two part article on tick bourne disease focusing on Lymes. A little US centric but the info is sound for Europe.

Lyme disease doesn't have an 's'
Blame my useless I phone for the s.
I know what you mean, the predictive text is a PITA!
Only two weeks ago I pulled a tick off one of the dogs, just goes to show they're even around in winter, thankfully way less prevalent though.
Thanks for that Wayne; was I the only one squirming in my chair reading it?
Everyone that works or plays in the outdoors should be aware of this but I was alarmed a couple of years ago when an instructor on a course declared "don't take any notice, it's exaggerated" - very irresponsible IMHO.

The risk of Lyme disease is a serious issue, a month ago I started a shadow ranger position with the forestry commission and was given a lot of literature on the issue. My mentor actually had a tick and has been on antibiotics since as well as waiting on blood tests. I have some info on the issue and will post at a later date. It really is a devastating disease
In the UK LDA Lyme Disease Action have very accurate and informative free leaflets etc available from their website too

Very helpful folk and also run a patient help email line for those concerned about bites and ongoing treatments.
Dont despair, be aware!
Ive been fortunate enough to have been on an unrelated conference with one of the scientists at the (Scottish based) blood testing centre. The current trend is rising steeply and the blood test itself is not infallible. Going to the Doc sooner rather than later was still his advice.

Many thanks for posting that Wayne. Interesting. Scary.
My ex has anti-tick collars on her dogs year round.
I found a tick on me when in Southern Spain in December/January a couple of years ago.

I found out today that my nephew has suspected Lyme disease after first falling ill three years ago!! Waiting for the blood test results apparently.
The namesake for Lyme Disease is Lyme, Connecticut, U.S.A. Lat 41*24'N x Long 72*21W.
Here's today's discouraging news:

I guess they will now test an antibiotic coctail.
When I got it around 15 years ago I was treated both orally and I.V., with two different AB’s.

Seems an European company has developed a new vaccine !

If approved it should be out within a couple of years, I guess.

I’m pulling them off the dogs all the time at the moment, we live in a sheep and deer area. Haven’t found any on me yet, but I have a good look about after walking in long grass.
Shamelessly stolen from another forum, Sarah Palin has some sage advice. Unbelievable really.

Unbelievable that a smart guy like you falls for that mene!
False internet garbage.
I see you at the next Flatearther convection!
( play with your screen, make that faint picture on the right mid more visible, you will see why I know it is fake....)

She's from Alaska. Gone out in the winter too many times without a hat.
We really need to show more tolerance for lesser life-forms.

Trees grow best without them, fish do not care if it is the cleaner or King holding the rod!
The previous vaccine was pulled back, it did not deliver. All three if us had the injections, and only one of us has still ( around a decade later) antibodies.
I hope this new one is what they promise.
Lymes is quite debiliating.

Oh I know it’s fake. But interesting you use the work convection with regard to flat earth because that’s how aeroplane windows are designed to give us ordinary folk the illusion it is round.
Yes, everyone knows the Palin thing is a gag .. it is famous and pretty ancient. The reason it is still so laser-guided hilarious is because it is still so entirely plausible.
I love fake news and the good works it can perform. Last convection I saw turned the entire audience to biltong
