May is an important time to educate patients about prevention, early detection, and treatment. Transmitted through blacklegged tick bites, Lyme disease is increasingly present in parts of the province, especially during spring and summer. Early symptoms can include fever, fatigue, and a characteristic bull’s-eye rash, but not all patients present the same way. Prompt diagnosis and treatment are critical to prevent long-term complications. Doctors play a key role in raising awareness, encouraging tick checks after outdoor activities, and guiding patients on proper tick removal and when to seek medical care. Staying informed helps protect our community.
