Due to extreme climate change, ticks, the disease-carrying bugs, are out earlier this year and also staying around longer than usual. This may mean that more people than usual are prone to catching the illness. Goudarz Molaei, a tick expert in the US, told the Associated Press: "It's going to be an above-average year for tick activity and abundance." In 2015 singer Avril Lavinge went public with her diagnosis and said: "I had no idea a bug bite could do this. "I was in bed for f****** two years." Lyme disease is caused by borrelia bacteria and humans can contract the infection if they are bitten by an infected tick. The ticks mainly live throughout most of the United States, but they are also prevalent in woodland and heath areas throughout the UK and Europe. Not all ticks will carry the bacteria, so a tick bite won't always result in catching the disease. Ticks usually live in areas of overgrown or deep vegetation, so where possible it's best to avoid long grasses and stick to a footpath. A report in 2018 from the Canadian Journal of Infectious Diseases and Medical Microbiology, linked tick populations to the climate. It said: "Both tick activity and survival depend on temperature and humidity." If you have walked in an area of long grass where ticks are prevalent it is good to check your skin for a bite. Many people with early symptoms of Lyme disease develop a circular red skin rash around the bite. Ticks are not easy to spot as they are smaller than the size of a pin-head, but after they have been feeding on you they swell to around the size of a pea.
