sikamalc Administrator Site Staff Trade Member Jul 19, 2009 #2 I agree with The Croc there does seem to be a great deal of ticks about this year. Milder winters is probably a major cause. At present I am just finishing the last lot of antibiotics after contracting Lymes Disease in West Sussex. First time I have ever had it, but after some 30 years of stalking I suppose its about time Keep checking for the little buggers, Lymes Disease is to be avoided.
