Beware of Ticks


Summer is here, which means it's time to protect yourself from Lyme Disease.

It is transferred by deer or moose ticks which latch on to human flesh.

Northwestern Health Unit's Kurtis Casey says they are interested in those insects.

The Health Unit's offices have kits that have tweezers and id kits that can be returned for testing.

There are currently no known cases of anyone contracting Lyme Disease in our area.
