Spring and summer are perfect for outdoor activities but remember to be Tick aware.
Check for ticks on yourself, family, and pets after being outside. If bitten, remove the tick promptly and properly. Walk on paths, wear light clothing, and learn what ticks look like to avoid bites. Be aware of Lyme Disease symptoms and inform your GP if you feel unwell.
