Identify North American tick types and their multi-stage life cycles
Recognize symptoms of Lyme Disease and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever
Demonstrate proper tick removal and bite prevention techniques

Course Overview

If you spend time in the outdoors in North America, you stand a good chance of having a tick attaching itself to your body and feeding on you. The result of this tick bite could be a serious disease such as Lyme Disease or Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever.

In this program, EMT/Firefighter/Best-Selling Author Martin Lesperance stresses the importance of early treatment of tick bites and precautions for preventing them in the first place. It’s important to note that throughout Canada and the US, areas that were once low risk for tick bites have become high risk, so everyone in North America can benefit from the information presented in this program.

Topics include various types of ticks and where they live, how ticks spread diseases, Lyme Disease, Rocky Mountain Spotted  Fever, preventing tick bites and tick removal.

No Worries. Here’s Some Helpful Info.

How long does a tick need to be attached to transmit Lyme Disease?


For the disease to spread, a tick typically needs to be attached for 24 to 36 hours, though you should always err on the side of caution and remove them immediately.


Does everyone infected with Lyme Disease get a circular "bullseye" rash?


No. Approximately 20 to 30 percent of people who contract Lyme Disease do not develop the characteristic circular rash.


Can ticks survive being washed in the laundry?


Ticks have been known to survive washing cycles even with hot water; however, the high, dry heat of a clothes dryer is usually effective at killing them.


What is the correct way to remove a tick from the skin?


Use fine tweezers to grasp the head and mouthparts as close to the skin as possible, then pull upward slowly without twisting, jerking, or crushing the body.


Can you get a tick-borne illness in your own backyard?


Yes. You do not need to be in the "deep bush" to be bitten; ticks are commonly found in backyards, especially in areas with high grass or leaf litter.
