Lyme disease can be difficult to spot, especially in the early stages 🦠

If you’ve recently been bitten by a tick or noticed symptoms like a rash, fever, tiredness or muscle aches, it’s important to seek advice early.

As the weather gets warmer and more people spend time outdoors, it’s a good time to stay aware and know what signs to look out for.

If you have any concerns, our team at Whickham Pharmacy is always here to help 💚

Welcome to LDUK, a registered charity founded by Lyme disease patients and run by volunteers. We're the largest Lyme disease support network in the UK.
