Jame and Callum are joined by Christina Petridou. In this episode we give you an overview of ticks and the key infections they transmit..., but NOT Lyme disease.
Some of the infections we DO cover include: Rickettsiosis (spotted fever group), relapsing fevers, anaplasmosis, ehrlichiosis, babesiosis, TBE & CCHF. 
Not Lyme. THIS IS NOT A LYME DISEASE EPISODE. 
Show notes (including lots of summary tables and horrible tick pics) for this episode are here.
