As the last long weekend of
summer approaches, mosquitoes and
ticks are still active. The Huron
County Health Unit reminds
residents to protect themselves
against mosquito and tick bites when
spending time outdoors.
“When you’re enjoying the end of
summer, it’s important to keep
protecting yourself against bug
bites,” says Public Health Inspector
Keshia Hackett.
Precautions to take when spending
time outdoors include:
• Wear light-coloured, long-
sleeved shirts, long pants and
closed-toed shoes.
• Use an insect repellent approved
by Health Canada, and always read
and follow the manufacturer’s
instructions.
• Conduct head-to-toe tick checks.
If you find a tick on you, remove it
using tweezers, grasping the tick as
close to the skin as possible and
pulling straight out slowly but
firmly.
Place the tick in a container and
bring it to your healthcare provider
or the Huron County Health Unit for
identification and testing if
needed.
Lyme disease is spread through
the bite of an infected blacklegged
tick. A tick must be attached and
feeding for at least 24 hours before
the tick will start to transmit the
bacteria, so early detection and
removal is important. Early
symptoms include: fever, headache,
muscle and joint pain, fatigue and an
expanding rash that may resemble a
bull’s eye.
West Nile virus is spread to
humans through the bite of an
infected mosquito. Many
mosquitoes are most active at dusk
and dawn. Most people infected with
West Nile virus do not experience
any symptoms, however, those that
do show symptoms will experience:
fever, headache, body aches, fatigue,
skin rash and occasionally vomiting
and nausea.
If you experience any of these
symptoms, speak to your healthcare
provider as soon as possible. To

West Nile virus, please visit
