Here's a link to the recording of a Zoom awareness talk on Lyme disease.
Delivered for BBOWT staff and volunteers by Caudwell LymeCo charity, in April 2021.
Cases of Lyme disease are growing rapidly in the UK, and those who work or spend a lot of time outdoors may be at higher risk of contracting the disease.
Early diagnosis is key, but symptoms are similar to a lot of other illnesses, so we want to raise awareness about tick safety and how to spot the disease.
You will learn about:
1. what Lyme disease is
2. where you are most at risk of tick bites
3. how to prevent tick bites
4. how to remove a tick safely
5. how to spot the symptoms of Lyme disease, and
6. what to do if you think you have Lyme
