Tick Prevention Week 2008 runs from 7th- 13th April. Check the website here . This is an annual campaign to raise awareness regarding the dangers of tick bites, and how to reduce the chance of infection. The campaign week is held in early spring, when the weather gets warmer, people spend more time outdoors, and ticks become more active. Tick Prevention Week is organised by BADA-UK (Borreliosis and Associated Diseases Awareness-UK), a registered charity, which aims to increase awareness; to counter the increase in cases of Borreliosis and other tick-borne diseases (TBDs), and the increasing risks of being bitten by an infected tick.
Ross Montague of the Scottish Countryside Alliance said, "ticks and tick borne disease are dangers that we should all be aware of, especially those that live and work in rural Scotland. It is also important to keep up to date with findings on the best methods of tick removal and bite prevention. Some of the 'old favourite' methods have now been proven to be less than effective!"
Please visit the website to find out more about how to protect yourself from tick bites and tick-borne diseases : www.tickpreventionweek.org
