A new report highlighted by CBC News shows that tick populations — and Lyme disease cases — are continuing to rise across Eastern Canada.
What stood out:
-
- Lyme disease cases are increasing significantly
- Warmer conditions are helping ticks expand their range
- The problem is no longer “seasonal” — it’s becoming a longer-term risk
Ticks aren’t just a “hiking problem” anymore.
They’re showing up in:
-
- Backyards
- Play areas
- Pet zones
- Woodlines near homes
What you can do:
-
- Check yourself, kids, and pets regularly
- Keep grass trimmed and edges clean
- Reduce tick habitat around your yard
- Consider proactive yard treatment, especially near woods
