Can’t figure outwhy you’re coming downwith conditions you’d expectto feel in the winter? Could beyou’re in the early stages ofLyme disease, or not.HALIFAX - Nova Scotia’spublic health officer iswarning campers and hikersto take precautions againstbites from blacklegged ticks.“<strong>The</strong> risk of Lyme diseaseis quite low in most areas ofNova Scotia,” said Dr. RobertStrang, Chief Public HealthOfficer for Nova Scotia. <strong>The</strong>insects can transmit Lymedisease, which can cause serioushealth problems if leftuntreated. Dr. Robert Strangsays the risk of Lyme diseaseis quite low in most areas ofNova Scotia, “We have torecognize that ticks are hereto stay but that doesn’t meanwe shouldn’t enjoy the outdoorsthis summer.” Peopleshould take action in areaswhere blacklegged ticks areestablished, including parts ofBedford, Shelburne County,Pictou County and HeckmansIsland in Lunenburg County.Dr. Strang says blackleggedticks can only transmit thebacterial infection after theyhave been attached to the skinfor about 24 hours.Tick InformationTicks are found in grassy,brushy areas where they waitfor a host to pass by. <strong>The</strong>y areespecially prevalent alongpaths used by animals. Ticksare not choosy about theirhost and often get onto aperson’s leg. <strong>The</strong>y crawlupward on the body, lookingfor a place to attach. <strong>The</strong>irpopulations are greater in thespring and summer followinga mild winter.In Canada, the blackleggedtick (Ixodes scapularis; oftenreferred to as a deer tick) andthe western blacklegged tick(Ixodes pacificus) are thespecies known to transmit thedisease-causing agent, as wellas other less common agents.Ticks have a 4-stage lifecycle: egg, larvae, nymph,and adult. <strong>The</strong> nymph andadult forms are able to attachto humans and otheranimals and possibly transmitdiseases.Though closely related toinsects, ticks are actually atype of mite.Ticks vary in size and colour;blacklegged ticks arevery small.
