Tick Bites

Ticks are small, spider-like creatures which feed on the blood of birds and mammals, including humans. They vary in size, usually between 1mm to 1cm long. They have either 6 or 8 legs. Tick season is usually between March and October but it may last longer. This is because wet weather and warmer temperatures make ticks active for longer in the year.

You can find information on NHS inform about how to prevent tick bites and what to do if you are bitten.

Hay Fever

Hay fever occurs when your immune system reacts to pollen released by plants. If you’re experiencing hay fever symptoms, your local Pharmacist can help recommend suitable treatments.

You can find more information about symptoms and treatments on NHS inform.

 

In an Emergency, call 999. For health advice, call NHS24 on 111 or visit NHS Inform.
