Yes, Ive just discovered my first tick... Much as the little monsters disgust me I have to say I'm shocked I've never been bitten before .
I've been trawling through grassland and forests since I was a child and this is the first time I've ever been bitten.
OH listened to my instructions well and took it off cleanly and whole.
But it got me thinking how often others get bitten and if you use anything to protect yourselves?
I never used to use anything but this year (ironically) we are using a spray deterrent aganst mosquitos and ticks but this one slipped into the waistband of my trousers which is not an area I spray..
Ive cleaned the area with dettol and Ive applied savlon hopefully it should be ok I know what danger signs to look for but anyone have any tips to protect us humans?
