ref ticks. I have always been an outdoor active type. Used to do a lot of camping. Up to the age of 30 I never even heard of ticks. Around then I was on a camping trip and one of the campers was an outdoor life expert, and told me about ticks. After explaining the hazards, he said he would not be surprised if I didn't have at least one tick on me. Sure enough, on inspection I did. He then told me the best way to remove it, and it came out OK. Since then I have always been on the alert for ticks out in the countryside. I suspect I have had dozens of tick bites over the years but failed to notice them. None of them became badly infected. Just lucky so far. Looking at USA tick advice, you are supposed to keep recovered ticks and freeze them in a plastic bag. If you get seriously ill, at least you can give the actual tick to the medical staff so they can check the body for what it contained. Far as I know, the tick bites in the UK, although dangerous, are typically not as bad as in USA. Lots of ticks in Scotland.
