Check for deer ticks

If you're in the deer park for Wilderness or just for walks in general do be aware that tiny poppy seed sized deer ticks can adhere to your body. There's really small so easy to miss. Unfortunately it's possible a few of them carry the bacteria which causes Lyme Disease which, if caught early, is easy to treat with antibiotics. However it can develop into a serious illness which I suggest you read about on the nhs website so you know what to look out for. I speak from personal experience!
