News item - University of Bristol asking vets all over UK to collect ticks from dogs. Biggest project of its kind. Looking at DNA within ticks to see what they're carrying in different parts of the country.

Saying if not treated with abx, Lyme disease can become chronic. Interviewed patient who has neuro/cog symptoms, seizures. Continually misdiagnosed, been to US and Europe to seek treatment at cost to family of £100,000. Calling for earlier intervention.

Explains how to avoid by checking for ticks after walks and showing how to remove.
