Survive & Thrive

Lyme disease sounds exotic and something others, not you, might get. Don't take the chance as it can be serious. Use insect repellent and carry a low cost tick remover - manage the risk don't ignore it. We sell both at Survive & Thrive. Plus ensure the insect repellent you purchase is a good brand and has longevity: it is no good applying "bargain basement" repellent that lasts two to four hours if you are out and about for eight hours. Beware the old wives' tales often associated with some so called natural substances. Don't make the mistake of assuming the terrain has to be wild to harbour ticks. They were a problem at a recent major public event held on low grass land on a town margin. Enjoy being outdoors but take personal responsibility.

Useful comment from Andy who runs a specialist first aid training business. A bit of creative forethought can help the task of immediate response that bit smoother as well as overcoming the inertia and thought blindness that can be brought on by fear overload.
