Lyme Disease Awareness Month is a reminder to stay informed, take precautions, and protect your health while enjoying the outdoors. Lyme disease can have serious effects but simple steps can make a big difference.

When spending time outside, wear long sleeves and light-coloured clothing to spot ticks more easily, use insect repellent, and stick to marked trails. After being outdoors, check your body, clothing, and even pets carefully.

If you notice symptoms like a rash, fever, fatigue, or joint pain, seek medical attention early. Prompt treatment is important.

Stay aware, take action, and help protect yourself and your loved ones this season.
