They're very ticky.
voice-verified
Because people think, oh, ticks are like a tropical disease.
voice-verified
They're not a tropical disease.
voice-verified
They're right here with us right now.
voice-verified
They're in Europe.
voice-verified
They're in North America.
voice-verified
What do they look like?
voice-verified
They look like a small, greeny-brown ladybird that's just attached to you.
voice-verified
And so you see it.
voice-verified
You can see it attached to you.
voice-verified
So what you're supposed to do is check for ticks after you've come back from these walks.
voice-verified
And the key thing here is...
voice-verified
It generally takes about 24 to 36 hours of them attaching to you before they introduce this bacteria.
voice-verified
So the sooner you get these off after you walk, the less risk you are off something like Lyme disease.
voice-verified
So if you come back and you check yourself over and you find a tick on you or someone else, the key thing is how to take them off.
voice-verified
Don't just pull it off.
voice-verified
If you pull it off, it will leave part of it in there and the bacteria will be there.
voice-verified
You need tweezers or you can get very specific tick removal little bits and bobs that you can do.
voice-verified
So with the tweezer, just gently twist it off and pull off.
voice-verified
Or like I said, there are tick removal equipment that you can get.
