some symptoms can overlap. Early signs include an expanding skin rash that grows more than five centimetres over several days, fever, chills, fatigue, hea- dache, swollen lymph nodes, muscle and joint aches.

The risk of tick bites increases when people and animals in wooded areas, or areas with tall grass and shrubs. “Blacklegged ticks are continuing to spread to new areas in Ontario,” explained Dr. Paul Roumeliotis, Medical Officer of Health, Eastern Ontario Health Unit (EOHU). “By being vigilant, wearing appropriate clo- thing and regularly checking for ticks, we can help prevent tick-borne illnesses so that everyone can safely enjoy trips outdoors.” SNC and the EOHU encourage people
As warmer temperatures settle in, South Nation Conservation (SNC) reminds residents and visitors to be alert when outdoors and take precautions against tick bites to reduce risk of Lyme disease and other tick-borne illnesses. Bites by infected blacklegged ticks, com- monly known as deer ticks, can cause Lyme disease and similar illnesses potentially can lead to infections. Although not every tick carries disease, the blacklegged tick is common in most of southern Ontario and cer- tain areas of Northern Ontario. Carrier ticks cannot be distinguished from non-carriers. “With summer approaching, we are thril- led to see more people enjoying their local environment,” stated John Mesman, SNC’s Managing Director of Conservation Lands. “Staying on designated public trails can help reduce potential interactions with ticks, however, it’s important that everyone takes steps to protect from tick bites.” Lyme disease happens in stages which

Wash the bite area with soap and water or an alcohol-based sanitizer. Since January 2023, pharmacists can prescribe antibiotics to treat tick bites to prevent Lyme disease, as a precaution.

to wear light-coloured clothing for easy tick detection, long sleeve shirts, pants tucked into socks, and closed-toed shoes. They recommend applying insect repellent contai- ning DEET or Icaridin to exposed skin and clothing. SNC reminds resident that if bitten by a tick, carefully remove the tick as soon as possible. Infected blacklegged ticks need to be attached for at least 24 hours to transmit the bacteria that causes Lyme disease.
