Ontario’s Chief Medical Health Officer says people in the North shouldn’t be too complacent about ticks that carry Lyme disease.Dr. Arlene King says that even though these black legged ticks are more prevalent in Southwestern and Eastern Ontario, they also make their way north.
Dr. King says that means wearing pants tucked into your socks and long-sleeved shirts, and using insect repellent with DEET.
Dr. Curtis
Russell says the Lyme-carrying ticks are highly prevalent as well in the northeastern United States.
