Lyme disease spreads to Canada- climate change to blame.

This is awful news. Lyme is such a miserable disease. Sorry, Canada. That really stinks.

"Much of Canada is appropriate tick habitat, and so if there were to be global warming it seems very reasonable that we might see the ticks extend their range into a much larger part of Canada," said Ward.
Lyme disease is already the fastest-growing infectious disease in the U.S., and appeared in Nova Scotia for the first time just two years ago. It can be very painful and difficult to treat." LINK
