Ticks

I love animals. Even snakes and spiders but there are two exceptions,ticks and wild pigs. The pigs are kept away thanks to an electric fence but the ticks are impossible to get away from. As soon as you go out you are at risk of getting one or more crawling all over you. Sounds like no big deal but they carry viruses that can give you both TBE and Lyme disease.  Luckily you can be vaccinated against TBE and there are antibiotics against the Lyme disease but it can still be very unpleasant and take a long time before you are cured.

On this picture you can see how incredible small the ticks can be.
