As Lyme disease continues to progress northward into Quebec and the Northeastern United States, staying vigilant during your outdoor excursions is more important than ever. Carried by the black-legged tick (Ixodes scapularis), this disease is transmitted through a painless bite but can lead to severe health complications if left untreated.
Quick Prevention Tips:
Cover Up: Wear long-sleeved shirts and tuck your pants into your socks.
Stay Centered: Stick to the middle of groomed trails to avoid tall grass.
Repel: Use a repellent containing Picaridin (20%) or DEET (30%) for the best protection.
Post-Hike Check: Shower immediately and run clothes through a hot dryer for 10 minutes.
Timing is Key: The risk of infection is minimal if the tick is removed within 24 to 36 hours. If you find an attached tick, remove it carefully with tweezers and consult a pharmacist if it has been present for more than a day.
