lyme disease

[Mark Anderson]

Hi men,

Watched a report on someone catching Lyme's , through a tic bite . Frightening how it disabiliates people , and anglers through the summer are quite susceptible to the possibility of being bitten . Something to think about if your health goes downhill for any reason , pointing out Lyme's to a doctor to be on the safe side .

You need to look out for the bulls eye on your skin, if you find a tick, its a sure sign of lymes . I did read that something as simple as putting your socks over your trousers in areas that have deer populations can stop ticks from getting to your skin.

It’s particularly rife in certain areas as well including the New Forest which is pretty close to me and a few others on here. I got bitten the other night, my fault for not tucking my shirt in. There’s a lot of them about at the moment.

Good post Mark. I know a carp angler who has it through a tick bite whilst fishing and it has seriously affected his life and no cure I believe?
Especially now we have some nice weather and will expose more skin.

Danny fairbrass takes a lot of stick undeservedly imo but he does some good work what with his donations to the PAG and now this for children’s cancer charity
