HEAD : Health unit warns about ticks GREGGCHAMBERLAIN gregg.chamberlain@eap.on.ca Eastern Ontario is seeing an increase in numbers and range of blacklegged ticks that carry Lyme disease, especially along the St. Lawrence River area, according to the health unit. Left untreated, Lyme disease can affect the heart, nervous system or joints, but if caught early can generally be treated suc- cessfully.
your pants into your socks. Examine your body for ticks after being in an area where there’s tall grass or shrubs, or where ticks are known to live. Showering after can also help remove ticks that have not yet attached. Remove any attached ticks with tweezers. If possible, take the tick to the EOHU, where it will be sent away for species identification and, if necessary, tested for Lyme disease. Pets may bring ticks into the house. Con- sult your vet about how you can protect your pet from ticks. Contact your health-care provider if you develop symptoms of Lyme disease, espe- cially a bull’s eye rash. For more information about Lyme dis- ease and how you can protect yourself, visit www.eohu.ca . You can also call 613-933- 1375 or 1 800 267-7120, and ask for Health Line.
Outdoor enthusiasts and those who work outdoors are at higher risk of being ex- posed to Lyme disease, especially if they spend time in wooded areas, tall shrubs or tall grass that may be tick-infested. The EOHU advises people who spend time outdoors and in higher risk areas to follow these precautions to lower their risk: Apply insect repellent containing DEET to clothing and on all exposed skin. Read and follow the manufacturer’s directions for safe use. Wear long sleeves, long pants, socks and closed footwear (avoid sandals or open shoes). Light-coloured clothing is best be- cause it makes ticks easier to see and re- move before they can attach to feed. Tuck your shirt into your pants, and tuck
“Fortunately, simple precautions can help protect against tick bites, and lower your risk of becoming infected with Lyme dis- ease,” states Linda Cléroux, manager of the Vector-borne Illness program at the EOHU. Lyme disease is a bacterial infection caused by the bite of infected blacklegged ticks, also called deer ticks. The bite can cause a rash that looks like a red bull’s eye, and leave its victim with flu-like symptoms.
The Eastern Ontario Health Unit wants area residents to be ticked off about a tiny pest which can cause serious health con- sequences for those unfortunate enough to come into contact with one. The health unit is warning local residents to take protective measures to keep ticks from attaching to them, especially in areas where ticks carrying Lyme disease may be found.
