6 Available data from the Quebec Gouvernment confirms its presence in the following areas in particular: A large part of Montérégie, the south-east portion of the Mauricie-and Centre-du-Quebec region. The fact that Quebec winters are less cold than they used to be partly explains this increase. The warmer climate enables the ticks to survive and grow more easily. HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF What are ticks? Ticks are closely related to spiders. They cannot fly and they move quite slowly. Ticks usually come in contact with people or animals by positioning themselves on tall grass and bushes. They may take several hours to find a suitable place on the host to attach to feed. The Ontario Ministry of Health says most tick bites are painless and the majority of bites will not result in disease because most ticks are not infected with the agent of Lyme disease How to prevent Lyme-infected tick bites Photo:credit: Agence de la santé publique du Canada The best way to protect yourself from Lyme disease is to prevent tick bites. According to Health Canada, if you work outdoors or participate in outdoor activities like golfing, hunting, camping, fishing and hiking, you may be at greater risk for tick bites. Protect yourself if you venture into forested or overgrown areas: wear closed-toe shoes, long-sleeved shirts and pants wear light coloured clothes to spot ticks easier shower or bathe within two hours of being outdoors to wash away loose ticks do daily "full body" checks for ticks on yourself, your children and pets Ticks attach themselves to the skin and removing them within hours usually prevents infection. Some tips proposed by the Canadian Government Work in the shoreline is not authorized but the Canadian Government proposes some strategies to prevent ticks from living near your home: Keep your lawn and yard well maintained : discourage rodent activity by cleaning up and sealing stonewalls and small openings around the home move firewood piles and bird feeders away from the house keep your pets, particularly dogs, out of the woods and talk to your vet about tick repellents for your pets move children's swing sets and sand boxes away from the woodland edge and place them on a woodchip or mulch foundation To know more about Lyme disease, consult Quebec, Ontario and Canada Government Websites.
