Understanding Tick Bite
A tick bite occurs when a tick attaches itself to the skin and feeds on blood. Most bites are harmless, but some ticks can pass on infections.
Common Triggers
They live in tall grass, undergrowth and forest and latch on as you pass. Hiking, camping and picnics increase the chance.
Avoiding Tick Bite on Holiday
Wear long trousers and closed shoes on trails, use repellent, stay on paths and check your skin and clothes after being outdoors.
