A new program to track ticks has expanded to New Brunswick. It will allow researchers to monitor ticks and inform New Brunswick residents about their potential health risks. The message includes the tick species, any possible health risks and what to do if there is a health risk. The program, which is in Quebec, Ontario and New Brunswick, also helps the researchers track information on the types of ticks and which species are located where. "From the side of users, it's one more tool to get information, rapid information," Savage said.
