Be aware of how to deal with ticks and minimise the risks – and continue to enjoy the outdoors.

The following sources of information are available to download from this website: a Forestry Commission leaflet Ticks and tick-borne diseases, and a Public Health England leaflet Ticks and your health: Information about tick bite risks and prevention.
