and yet more are dog walkers so I though you would like to read this about
ticks and the diseases they can cause...

It's an increasing problem in the UK.

Also Rocky Mountain Spotted fever, typhus etc. The incidence of
Lyme Fever in the UK does indicate that it is pretty common - after
all, 99% of people are effectively not exposed to the countryside.
However, that is STILL only a 0.1% chance of being infected.

That article makes me think that BADA should really stand for the
British Association for Dramatic Anxiety.
