Wood ticks are plentiful at our club, and the smaller Blacklegged tick has been spotted in the area. Take precautions and check yourself after each visit. Tick borne disease is serious and Lyme disease is on the rise in Manitoba.
Some simple precautions include wearing insect repellent with DEET, long pants and socks and staying out of tall grass. For more information about ticks & tick borne disease check out the following resources:
