March 1st - 7th is Facial Palsy Awareness Week.
Approximately 5% of patients diagnosed with #LymeDisease develop #FacialPalsy.
This usually develops in early Lyme disease when testing is known to be unreliable.

A huge thank you to Evelyn Tweed for hosting us at the Scottish Parliament for our “Spotlight on Lyme disease: Awareness into Action” event.
It was a fantastic evening with our guest speakers Darrell Currie, Alexander MacGrigor & Benedict Auld sharing their personal experiences of Lyme disease.
Through a Cambridge Festival logo shaped window you can see a forested area and a yellow sign that says Beware of Ticks. Image Text reads "Festival Family weekend on the 28th March 2026 Pathology Department Tennis Court Road"
The @cambridgefestival.bsky.social programme is out! Plan your family weekend visit and join me in the Pathology Dept on the 28th March where I will be giving useful tips for tick-bite prevention and information about Lyme disease. Thanks to @lymeresourcecentre.bsky.social for providing resources.
Even in this context I had conversations that began with “I know about ticks because I have a dog.” Health professionals - a plea: please tell parents to protect their children from ticks. #QuietEpidemic #LymeDisease
The LRC had a productive few days at the British Paediatric Neurological Association (BPNA) conference in Glasgow.
Raising awareness is key to tick bite prevention and to achieving early diagnosis and effective treatment for future Lyme patients.
We’re looking forward to attending the #BPNAConference2026, 28-30 Jan 2026 in Glasgow.
See poster 233 & please come visit the LRC stand at Booth 30 to meet our team, access educational materials and collect a complimentary tick remover.

Tick-bite illnesses can be complex and debilitating. Are we any closer to understanding them?
This article from Australia’s ABC News highlights the work of Dr Richard Schloeffel who has been researching a group of people with ongoing symptoms linked to tick bites.

We were pleased to attend the @dofe.org leaders networking event on Saturday 1st November in Inverness.

Tick borne illnesses are highlighted in this week’s #Landward show - visiting an Aberfeldy farm where the sheep are suffering with “louping ill virus“ from ticks.
Tick borne illnesses can have devastating effects not only in humans but also in livestock
