wwjd7 Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 In case you’ve wondered where the greatest risk in southern Ontario to tick bites are located, this map illustrates it well. Quote

I see Spring Fling 9 is in the "Low risk" or "No risk" category. Legions of Mosquitos should be present though. Quote
+Gitchee-Gummee Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 A bit misleading if you interpret that to imply there are more ticks in those areas. Truth is... it is where there are more people, thereby more tick "bites". The last I knew, wild animals never report their tick "bites". Put more people in the grey area, the colors would soon change. FWIW Quote

Last time I checked Toronto's population density is an order of magnitude higher than Niagara, Brockville and Kingston. I would expect the highest risk sections to be places like Milton and Burlington or Vaughan (assuming no ticks in the Toronto metro area due to lack of forested areas). Quote
+Dr. House Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 (edited) The OP is a tad misleading on the crux of the message presented by this map. Rather than just "tick bites" in general, the heat map paints a picture of the risk level for the emergence of an endemic area for Lyme Disease from black-legged tick bite. A bit of context is provided here. Edited June 22, 2013 by Dr. House Quote
