A NJ man’s death from alpha-gal (tick-triggered meat allergy) shows a blindspot in medicine: delayed, severe allergic reactions are rising with tick spread. Clinicians and public health must update protocols now. #AlphaGal #TickAwareness
We’re delighted that the @nationaltrust.org.uk motion to increase #TickAwareness in their outdoor places was passed with strong support at the recent AGM.

Ticks are tiny - these two were embedded and easy to miss.
After time outdoors, check everywhere: under socks, waistbands, hairlines, toes... It only takes one bite.

🌲 Shady dog walks are sometimes the only option in heat of summer but don’t forget, ticks love the shade too.
🕷️ If you’ve been in long grass, woods or leafy trails, do a quick tick check when you get home.

❌ “Ticks aren’t in the UK.”
✅ Wrong. Very wrong.
One of our team’s teens schooled her class on tick risks during fieldwork, and she was right to do so.
Ticks are here, and they carry Lyme. Know the risks. Check for ticks. Stay safe.
