Keep The Creepy Crawlies At Bay

It's the season for creeping, crawling and flying beasties.....especially ticks.

Medical Officer of Health Dr Soctt Giffin offering some tips on keeping ticks away, including wearing white so they're easier to spot and checking over your kids after they play in the woods.

Giffin tells CHSJ News while there hasn't been more reported cases of Lyme Disease, more ticks are being found to carry it.

A DEET-based bug spray will also keep the little bloodsuckers at bay.
