One of the threats posed by #climatechange that we need to be talking more about - the rise of #Lymedisease With tick numbers continuing to rise, better awareness is becoming increasingly urgent. telegraph.co.uk/health-fitnessโฆ The Telegraph #Lymediseaseawareness


Thanks The Guardian for raising awareness of new research showing much higher incidence of #Lymedisease in the UK than previously thought. Better #awareness, #prevention and early #diagnosis are crucial. BMJ_Open Royal College of General Practitioners

Questions remain, but as with other threats to #publichealth, tick-borne diseases aren't going to wait around until we've got it all figured out. @PHE_uk National Institute for Health and Care Research
