Reminder to be vigilant for ticks
Just some advice/reminder to anyone particularly if travelling to Center Parcs for holidays: Read up on what ticks look like, bring tweezers, antiseptic wipes and repellent, long sleeves and pants, and check your kids every day.
We are just back from a trip with another family. Both of us have infants under 6mths (so not playing in the forest or long grass) and both of them got ticks on their heads, most likely dropping into the buggy from leaves or passed from other soft clothes.
It’s obviously not unique to Center parcs, ticks are not uncommon in forests and grass, but visitors might not be aware to be checking their kids and what to look for, and Center Parcs is a very popular destination and like anywhere else here there’s no signage about ticks. The onsite shop doesn’t carry repellent or antiseptic wipes but we did get a tweezers there
