Former England rugby player Matt Dawson is calling for greater awareness of tick-borne diseases as part of the Big Tick Project.
Matt was bitten by a tick in his local suburb of Chiswick, in West London, developing feverish symptoms which led to a diagnosis of Lyme Disease in 2015.
He is now keen for others in the UK who may be at risk to learn how to protect themselves and their pets from the dangers of tick-borne diseases.
Matt was joined by vet and TV presenter James Greenwood.
