Tick bites

We receive many requests for appointments due to Tick bites.  Tick bites in this part of the Highlands are very common and we do not routinely offer appointments for Tick bites. To help assist you we have a selection of resources which describe how to 

  • avoid tick bites in the first place
  • how to safely remove them
  • what symptoms to look out for

Health Protection Scotland advice leaflet NHS Scotland tick-lyme-disease-infosheet-20170810

UK Health Security Agency Tick-awareness-A5-leaflet-April-2023

NHS Inform webpage about Lyme disease; includes photos of “what to look for” and a helpful video NHS Inform Lyme 

There are two very useful videos on Youtube that were created by Dr Jim Douglas (GP in Fort William) About Tick bites and Lyme Disease and Health advice about removing ticks safely
