How do ticks spread Lyme disease? Ticks pass through 3 life stages: larva, nymph & adult, & require a blood meal in each stage. The tick may become infected during one feed before transmitting infections during its next feed. lymeresourcecentre.com/about-ticks #TickBitePreventionWeek

Another heartbreaking case of a very severe ME sufferer. Tomos is in Wales but there is nowhere treating the very severe anywhere in the UK. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/… #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis #VerySevereME

24-31 March is #TickBitePreventionWeek! @The_Blue_Cross has some useful advice about ticks and cats: bluecross.org.uk/advice/cat/hea… (1/2).

This heartbreaking article sounds so tragically familiar. Symptoms of Lyme disease can be similar to those of conditions like ME/CFS. We ask health professionals to consider - Could it be Lyme disease? bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Where are ticks found? Ticks are present across the UK and are mostly found in woods, fields and moorland, though can also be found in parks and gardens. lymeresourcecentre.com/about-ticks #TickBitePreventionWeek

A huge thank you to Evelyn Tweed for hosting us at @ScotParl for our “Spotlight on Lyme disease: Awareness into Action” event. It was a fantastic evening with our guest speakers Darrell Currie, Alexander MacGrigor & Benedict Auld sharing their own experiences of Lyme disease.

Really pleased to have attended & helped @LymeResourceCtr with their event in the parliament last night. It was great to see so many MSPs such as @RussellFindlay1, @MareeToddMSP & @ClareAdamsonSNP there. Great to see @ScotGamekeepers #lymedisease #chairty #lymelife #lymeawareness
