Climate change bringing more ticks, infections
By Luke Hendry, The Intelligencer
An apparent rise in ticks crossing Canada’s southern border has the local health unit urging residents to use caution in wooded areas.
How to Remove a Tick
If a tick is removed within 24 hours, the chances of it transmitting Lyme disease or other infections are less.
Safe tick removal methods:
- Method 1: Intradermal Blister
- Method 2: Straw and Knot
- Method 3: Tweezers
- Method 4: Tick-Removal Tool/Kit
Not all tick removal methods are safe. Certain removal methods may increase your chances of contracting Lyme disease.
