Ticks May Head North

Ontario’s Chief Medical Health Officer says people in the North shouldn’t be too complacent about ticks that carry Lyme disease. Dr. Arlene King says that even though these black legged ticks are more prevalent in Southwestern and Eastern Ontario, they also could be anywhere in the province. King says that means wearing pants tucked into your socks and long-sleeved shirts, and using insect repellent with deet.
