Ticks a growing problem in Ontario, experts warn


 
TORONTO --
During the pandemic, going for a hike or visiting a conservation area has become a popular pastime.
But, when you do decide to head outdoors, experts warn you should watch out for ticks.
“The risk of Lyme disease is quite prevalent in Ontario and Quebec," according to Dr. Pierre Chuard, project coordinator of Etick.ca with Bishop’s University in Quebec.
In fact, there's been an increase in blacklegged ticks that carry Lyme disease, so it's important to take precautions on the trails and even in your own backyard.
Due to the pandemic, some public health agencies that track ticks have suspended operations, but Etick.ca continues to monitor tick populations and is a good resource for anyone bitten by a tick.
