Do you know what a black-legged tick (which can carry Lyme disease) looks like? Think you’ve found one on yourself or a family member? Take a photo and send it to etick.ca, or use the mobile app, to find out if it’s a tick and what kind.
Huron Perth Public Health no longer accepts ticks for identification. See less

✅ Tips to Help Prevent Tick Bites:
• Wear light-coloured clothing to make ticks easier to spot
• Wear long sleeves, long pants, and closed-toe shoes when possible
• Tuck pant legs into socks while walking through wooded or grassy areas
• Use an insect repellent containing DEET or Icaridin and follow product instructions carefully
• Stay on marked trails and avoid walking through tall grass and dense brush
• Shower or bathe after spending time outdoors
• Perform a full body tick check on yourself, children, and pets after being outside
• Place outdoor clothing in the dryer on high heat after being outdoors to help kill ticks
• Keep lawns and brush trimmed around your property to help reduce tick habitat

⚠️ What NOT To Do:
• Do not squeeze, crush, or twist the tick while removing it
• Do not use petroleum jelly, nail polish, gasoline, or heat to try to remove a tick
• Do not burn the tick with a match or lighter
• Do not handle ticks with bare hands when possible

These methods may increase the risk of infection or cause the tick to release more bacteria into the bite area.

🐾 Don’t Forget Your Pets!
Ticks can attach to pets and be brought indoors. Regularly check pets after outdoor activities and speak with your veterinarian about tick prevention products.

🩺 If You Find a Tick Attached:
Remove the tick as soon as possible using fine-point tweezers. Grasp the tick close to the skin and pull upward slowly and steadily without twisting. Clean the bite area with soap and water or rubbing alcohol after removal. Monitor for symptoms such as fever, fatigue, headache, muscle aches, or a rash, and contact a healthcare provider if symptoms develop. Residents may also bring ticks to Algoma Public Health for identification and testing information or submit photos through eTick Canada.
