With warmer spring and summer months come special risks for anyone who spends time outside. These can include West Nile virus and Lyme dis- ease. West Nile virus is spread to humans through the bite of an in- fectedmosquito and can cause illness ranging from mild flu-like symptoms to severe neurological problems. Lyme disease is a bacte- rial infection caused by the bite of an in- fected blacklegged tick (deer tick). Lyme disease has been on the rise in Ontario; in fact, ticks testing positive for the disease were found in the Eastern Counties in 2011. Lyme disease can cause a rash that looks like a red bull's eye, as well as flu-like symptoms. Left untreated, Lyme disease can affect the heart, nervous system or joints. However, it can generally be treated successfully if it’s caught early. If you develop any of the symptoms of Lyme disease or West Nile virus, talk to your healthcare provider. Here are a few simple tips to help pro- tect against tick and mosquito bites: Use insect repellent containing DEET. Apply a thin layer to clothing and ex- posed skin, being sure to keep it away from your eyes and mouth. Always read the product label, especially if applying to children. Wear long sleeves, long pants and socks. Light-coloured clothing is best. Examine your body for ticks if you’re in an area where there may be ticks. Re- move any attached ticks with tweezers. If possible, take the tick to the Eastern On- tario Health Unit to have it tested for Lyme disease. For more information on how to protect yourself this summer, visit the Eastern Ontario Health Unit’s website at www.eohu.ca. You can also call 613-933- 1375 or 1 800 267-7120 and ask for Health Line. Protect self from ticks and mosquitoes Linda Cleroux Eastern Ontario Health Unit Councillor Elaine MacDonald, in introduc- ing the motion, said there has been a “tremendous explosion” in north-south economic dealings while interprovincial trade “flatlined”. 12-04-16 15:16 Cornwall city council has backed a Corn- wall and Area Chamber of Commerce’s criticism of changes to duty-free limits for Canadians shopping in the United States. The chamber recently issued a news re- lease criticizing a $150 increase to the tax- free exemption for a one-day trip to the United States, up from the current $50 limit. And it urged MP Guy Lauzon to explain “why he thought this would benefit many border towns, including Cornwall.” In a motion passed last Monday, Cornwall city council threw its support behind the chamber of commerce and requested “more support rather than less support for initia- tives taken by the business community over the year.”
