Positive Lyme disease Deer Tick found

Another lyme disease positive tick has been turned in to the local health unit. The tick was plucked off of a human who picked up the tick within the city limits.  This is the second positive test for Lyme disease in a tick since the health unit started monitoring and testing in 2005.  It's the first positive tick found on a human in Thunder Bay.
