Map shows where the ticks are in Quebec — and where they’re headed [Video]

Public health researchers have released a new map showing where Quebecers are likely to run into ticks that can carry Lyme disease.

Deer ticks (or black-legged ticks) have been detected throughout the Island of Montreal, the Eastern Townships and near some cities like Quebec City, Trois-Rivières and Gatineau.

As they adapt to climate change, ticks and the animals that carry them are expected to spread further north, east, and west.
