Tick Season.

Tick season is here again - at least in our area it has started, the cat brought the first illegal passenger back home weeks ago.

In case you're in an area with ticks, check if your vaccination is still valid... and in case you're in Germany and in a region with ticks, you might want to check out the project by the RKI Germany, which is collecting ticks for a survey about species (including new ones settling in here) and the pathogens they might carry.

You find more information on the site about the Zeckenatlas Deutschland, including info on how to send in the little bastards.
