It's looking like it's going to be lovely weather this bank holiday but make sure you're on the lookout for ticks when you're out and about!

Ticks love dense vegetation or long grass so make it a habit to check your clothes and your body regularly for ticks when you’re outdoors, and again when you get home 🌾

See our website for more information on what to do if you find a tick and about our Lyme disease testing www.biobest.co.uk/lyme-disease-testing-by-pcr/
