Lyme disease

[Gil Boyd]

One disease worth keeping tabs on is Lyme Disease.
It has always been flagged up on UK Military ranges that the Lyme tick is prevalent and one to be aware of for those spending great deal of time tramping around areas where deer live.

The disease first came to notice in Lyme Connecticut in the USA and thereafter named Lyme disease. It has reared its head again in the UK having come across the pond many years ago, and thought I would mention it on here for all shooters to be aware of if you have medical symptoms that don't compute and you can't tie it down specifically.........worth remembering.
Here is an article that wiped out a whole family who luckily recovered once it was identified. Watch the short video on the tick to see what the little devil looks like.........remember this can cause death.
