Tick bite left man unable to walk or feed himself and living in bed in mum's front room

A man who once loved living life outdoors has been left stuck in a bed inside his parent's house. Noah Greaves was working in Inverness when he was bitten by a tick.

But four years down the line he has seen his health deteriorate to the point where he is bedbound, living in the front room of the house where his mother cares for him. He has grown so weak that he cannot eat without help and is unable to walk.

The 29-year-old, from Huddersfield, contracted Lyme disease when he was bitten by the tick when he was working outdoors in the Scottish Highlands. He began to feeling unwell and started to have severe tremors and weakness with his condition continuing to get worse.
