The Government says a rise in total cases may be due to increased awareness
Experts are warning people to be vigilant of tick-borne bacterial infection after Government medical analysts reported an increase in the disease.
A Government spokesperson said: "Studies in Europe estimate that 1-5% of tick bites can lead to Lyme disease. On average, between 2.5–5.1% of ticks are infected in England and Wales, although this range can fluctuate in different areas and across years. "Ticks should be removed using a tick removal tool, or a pair of very fine-tipped tweezers, making sure that all parts of the tick are removed. A tick remover should be an essential part of any first aid kit. "
