Tick Awareness

May is Lyme Disease Awareness Month. Enjoy the outdoors - and check for ticks!

From Nova Scotia Public Health:

Summer in Nova Scotia is a wonderful season where people spend countless hours outdoors at the many beautiful beaches, trails, parks, and wooded areas. But as we take in these natural riches we must also be mindful of the presence of ticks. These small insects – sometimes as small as the period at the end of this sentence – are found across Nova Scotia and can cause tick-borne diseases.

To learn more about tick safety, visit https://novascotia.ca/ticksafety/ or call your local Public Health office at 902-543-0850.
