#PSA: A quick healthy outdoors note about avoiding #tick bites (and thereby tick-borne diseases):

Before going out:

* Wear light-coloured clothes, long-sleeves.
* Tuck your shirt into your pants, and your pants into your socks/boots.

After going out:

* Do a full body check, particularly in crevasses, dark, damp, or hairy spots, on
* yourself
* kids
* pets
* outdoor gear

Be aware ticks may drop off in the car, at home, only to catch a ride again later.

British Columbia Centre for Disease Control #BCCDC has good set of pages with information regarding #tick borne illnesses - https://www.bccdc.ca/health-info/diseases-conditions/tick-borne-diseases There are links to other resources including eTick.ca which uses your image of a tick to identify and report tick species: 82,014 reports of ticks on humans!

They also have mapped where ticks which might carry Lyme disease could be found - https://maps.bccdc.ca/Lyme/

Progress in some areas in the continuing battle against ticks and tick borne illness. Ticks are moving into new areas.

Also, a free #Tick App exists. I haven't read the info on it yet--we may not be able to join the study--but we can use it to photograph ticks and upload to find out what kind it is.

There's hope for better, faster treatment, and a vaccine that will protect many from easy transmission.

Ticks are spreading Lyme disease across America, but we can beat them. Here’s how.
