Our most dangerous wildlife is back in numbers: #ticks.

Just found one on my leg. Probably picked up on yesterday's walk in the woods. It's a tiny nymph and while I spotted two others these are easy to miss.

The hazard is in the disease they carry. In our region (northern Europe, Denmark) primarily Lyme disease, transferred via bites.

Anyway. #PSA: check for ticks and take them off properly. For a week after check for the telltale Lyme rash (an expanding red circle ANYWHERE on your body).

@Pepijn loathe ticks, they adore me though.

I've had Lyme too, that sucked.

Good PSA

@ruari @Pepijn everyone who goes on a walk in the woods with me usually brings at least one of them back, but somehow they never like me 🥴 I think I've gotten one or two in my whole life…?

@daniel_bohrer envious of that! They're nasty and seem to hide under every blade of grass
