Climate change driving rise in tick-borne illnesses such as Lyme disease | Globalnews.ca
66% Informative
A warming climate is driving a rise in Lyme disease and the introduction of lesser-known tick-borne diseases, experts say.
Ontario , Quebec and Nova Scotia continue to be the hot spots for blacklegged ticks, but the changing climate is allowing the tick population to grow in other parts of the country.
Lyme disease has been on the rise in Canada and the United States for several years .
Ticks feed on the blood of deer, mice, rabbits and other mammals, as well as birds and reptiles.
It generally takes about 24 hours for the tick to transmit Lyme disease, anaplasmosis or babesiosis while it’s latched on.
Ticks are found in wooded and grassy areas, including forests, parks and hiking trails.
