The Sussex Wildlife Trust is warning people to be ‘tick aware’ and says sensible precautions should be taken now that Summer is here.
Some ticks carry bacteria which can cause Lyme disease which produces a bullseye rash and flu-like symptoms. Among the steps walkers can take are to wear long trousers, walk on clearly defined paths and avoid brushing against vegetation. People should check themselves and their clothing after visiting the countryside. Dogs should be checked too. Ticks can be removed with fine tipped tweezers or a special tick removal tool.
The Trust says that ticks, which feed off the blood of birds and mammals, can be found in long grass and woodland, and also in parks and dog walking areas.
Ticks are most active from May to October especially in warm weather.

A spectacular themed parade will assemble in the Victoria Road car park before making its way through Horley Town Centre to the recreation ground.
Cllr Mike George, Chairman of the Horley Carnival, talked to Susy’s Shan Robins about what you can go along to see at the ‘Super Hero’ themed Horley Carnival, about the Superhero parade and hear what the judges might be looking for:
Talking of Superheroes, the men and women of the Fire Service are certainly right near the top! If you want to join them, pop along to the Carnival.
Whilst you are there, why not pop along to the Susy Radio Outside Broadcast Unit and say ‘Hello!’
