Fortunate to present my research on changing tick distributions in response to woodland creation at the @ukvbd.bsky.social conference in Liverpool @wrenproject.bsky.social @ukceh.bsky.social @ukhsa.bsky.social @cmillins.bsky.social @liverpooluni.bsky.social

It's #TickBitePreventionWeek. Would you know how to spot one and why are they so harmful? Ticks aren't just a summer problem anymore. Due to warmer winters, these tiny beasties can be active all year. 🐾 💬 Have you spotted any ticks yet? Let’s stay vigilant and protect ourselves and our loved ones!
