A subject close to my heart! I copped for a dose of Lyme last year in Yorkshire (funny...I always thought I was more at risk of getting infected with it during my annual fly fishing holiday in Assynt!). Hopefully I caught it in time and I blogged about it in the hope I could educate a few more people about it including the signs to look out for. I was lucky in the sense that I knew what a bullseye rash indicated, the majority of people don't. Link below, complete with lovely picture of my rash !
