Lyme disease riskLyme disease is a bacterial infection caused by a bite from the deer tick or black-legged tick. Lyme disease symptoms can include fever, headache, flu-like symptoms, swollen lymph nodes and muscle and joint pains for up to a week with no obvious cause. Clow said the risk of Lyme disease can vary depending on the geographic region. She said the best way to understand where the risk is highest, is by checking Public Health Ontario's Lyme disease risk map. Removing ticks quickly can reduce the risk of Lyme disease, she said.
