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.

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.

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.
