Lyme disease
Not a pleasant subject, but one that we should all be aware of
when spending time in the countryside, especially with bare skin!
Lyme disease is a bacterial infection spread by ticks. It is not contagious and cannot be transmitted from one person to another. The ticks thrive in places where there are deer and creep across the skin so gently that they cannot be felt. It is only later, after a tick has bitten into the skin, that a red rash may appear and irritation be felt.
The ticks are particularly plentiful in the following areas:
​
Exmoor
Thetford Forest in Norfolk
the New Forest in Hampshire
the Lake District
the South Downs
the Yorkshire Moors
parts of Wiltshire and Berkshire
the Scottish Highlands
A nude walk through a tick infested area can leave you with several of these tiny blood-sucking creatures on your legs. One way of reducing the chance of being bitten is to keep away from long vegetation. Ticks hang about on long grass and other plants, hoping to land on a passing animal, and a naked walker will do just as well as a deer!
There are several proprietary devices that claim to remove ticks safely. Various companies sell tick removal devices, which we offer as suggestions only
Please note that this website does not endorse any particular product that claims to remove ticks safely. Visitors to this website must read the appropriate descriptions of tick removal devices, do their own research and make up their own minds.
The sooner ticks are removed the less chance there is of developing Lyme Disease.

Following a day’s nude sunbathing and strolling,
the inspection of, and removal of ticks from, each others nude bodies can be quite fun!
