More research money on Lyme disease The downside of summer time fun is the increased risk of contracting Lyme disease from some varieties of ticks, while out for a walk in the woods or through an open field. The United Counties of Prescott- Russell council voted support of resolutions from Niagara Region council and Augusta Township demanding the provincial government increase its funding support of research to improve testing for Lyme disease, help develop more effective treatment for the disease, and also more effective means to exterminate the species of tick responsible for spreading it.
