Ticks Are Spreading Fast Across Canada

Ticks are exploding across Canada — and so are Lyme disease cases, soaring from 522 in 2014 to over 5,200 this year. Blacklegged ticks are spreading north and into cities like Toronto, Ottawa, and Montreal, fueled by climate change and urban sprawl. Ontario and Nova Scotia lead in cases, but the threat includes other dangerous tick-borne illnesses like anaplasmosis and Powassan virus. Stay safe: stick to trails, wear long sleeves, use repellent, and check your body after outdoor time. If you find a tick, remove it properly with tweezers — don’t twist or squeeze. Seek medical help if symptoms appear. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
