More deadly insects

Headline from DM 17th March 2008:
Health chiefs warn of invasion of blood sucking tick which causes paralysis and death

Favourite quote:

"A deadly disease caused by blood sucking ticks is spreading rapidly across Europe.

"...even a picnic in the park or relaxing with a drink in the beer garden could expose you to the life-threatening illness."

And here is the evidence to prove it. Taken last summer in a park in Somerset, it shows these deadly ticks advancing on some unsuspecting picnicers. You have been warned.
