Lyme disease - useful information

Can't see the film? Watch it here.

For The One Show, Dr Sarah Jarvis has been finding out about Lyme disease.


Lyme disease is caused by bacteria called Borrelia burgdorferi, it听is transmitted to humans by ticks, and if not treated can cause serious health issues.


Watch Sarah's film, above.


In her film, Sarah told us that a small but growing number of us - estimated by the as up to 3000 people per year - are becoming infected, often after a walk in the countryside.


The good news is, if it's caught early Lyme disease is really easy to treat, said Sarah. Only one in three ticks carry the bad bacteria, and if you remove the tick (the best way is with tweezers) within 12 hours of being bitten, you significantly reduce the chance of being infected.

Is feminism still needed?

Share your views.

For The One Show, Angellica Bell has been looking at the state of modern-day feminism - the movement for women's rights. She was told that women across the country are knitting and baking more, as they strive to become domestic goddesses. Many women are wanting to stay at home, rather than pursue a career.

Angellica visited trendsetting Goldsmiths University in London, (past alumni include Vivienne Westwood and Damian Hirst). Goldsmiths students have recently opened听a branch of the Women's Institute, better known for family values than radical politics.


So, men and women are now equal, so feminism is irrelevant? Can you bake a cake and still be a feminist? Or do we still badly need a movement for women's rights? Share your views and experiences below.
