Ticks
If you're anywhere near woodland, below 1200m, there's a possibility you may receive attention from ticks , tiny little parasites no bigger than a pin head, which bury themselves into your skin. Removing ticks by dabbing them with alcohol, butter or oil is now discouraged; the medically favoured way of extracting them is to pull them out carefully with small tweezers. There is a very slight risk of picking up some very nasty diseases from ticks such as encephalitis. Symptoms for the latter are initially flu-like, and if they persist, you should see a doctor immediately.
