They’re hard to spot, they’re hungry and they’re spreading disease from the Highlands to urban parks: a special report on the increasing threat posed by ticks

Last summer I took my family on a walk through the woodlands that surround the hamlet of Ebernoe, in Sussex. My children clambered on fallen trees, my partner and I hunted for mushrooms, and all the while we were being hunted by creatures more ancient than the last dinosaurs – and so hungry they would have fed on us for days.
