Tick Season Has Arrived

Summer is here, which means it’s time to protect yourself from lyme disease.
It is transferred by deer ticks or moose ticks, which latch on to human flesh.
Symptoms include flu like symptoms as well as muscle and joint stiffness.
Northwestern Health Unit Inspector Kurtis Casey says a way to avoid them is wearing long sleeved clothing and using bug repellent with DEET.
If you find yourself bit by a tick, please take it out and drop it off at one of the Health Unit offices.
