As the warmer months roll around the chances of being bitten by a tick increases.
With that in mind, it's more important than ever to be aware of the causes, symptoms and consequences of Lyme disease - an incurable disease caused by tick bites.
The UK Health Security Agency says Lyme disease is a bacterial infection that can be passed onto humans when they are bitten by an infected tick. People are most likely to encounter them when doing things in the countryside or in green spaces like woodland, some urban parks or gardens.
