Lyme disease is a bacterial infection transmitted through the bite of infected blacklegged ticks, and can spread to your joints, heart, and nervous system. Although it is possible to get bitten by blacklegged ticks anywhere in New Brunswick, the risks are higher in certain regions.
Blacklegged ticks are usually found within and along the edges of wooded areas and in areas with woody shrubs and vegetation like tall grasses. Be vigilant if you find yourself in one of those areas.
