Ukranian Tick Alert

Apparently there are some microscopic organisms infected with encephalitis in the general area of Ukraine and these may (or may not) tend towards the groin area...
Look: let's be honest here.  There is a football competition on in Ukraine and Poland this year, and the Daily Mail has jumped at the chance to use the expression 'watch your tackle'.  They have even gone so far as to suggest that "England and Ireland football supporters have been warned to 'watch their tackle' in this summer's Euros..." I will tell you now that Nobody Anywhere in the wide world has issued a statement suggesting that football fans 'watch their tackle'.  And to be frank, it really isn't even a half-decent link to football in the first place, not to mention that "Watch your tackle!" is not a phrase heard on a football pitch, except in the mind of the nerdish individual who came up with this shoddy piece.  Disappointing journalism really, from what is normally such a high-minded publication.
