But I have been bitten twice in the last fortnight.
It is happening when I walk my dog. The first offender was definitely a tick, expertly removed with the correct tweezers by my husband. We are not sure what bit me this time, and I can't really see the bite area as it is at the back of my knee, but we are "keeping an eye on it" as they say. Drenched the spot in TCP, so I smell a little clinical this morning. I was wearing wellies and thick fleecy trousers on both occasions, too, but I must take care not to walk through long grass or I suspect it will happen again.
It must be another effect of climate change. I'm looking forward to autumn when the insect population seems to disappear in these regions.
