It’s tick season here in Alberta. There are more than 40 species of ticks in Canada, mostly found in grassy and wooded areas with trees, shrubs, and piles of leaves. Avoiding tick bites is the best way to prevent Lyme Disease. Here’s how you can keep yourself bite-free when spending time outdoors: 1) Wear closed-toe shoes and light-coloured long sleeves shirts and pants. 2) Walk on cleared paths or walkways. 3) Use bug spray with DEET or icaridin. 4) After being outside, check yourself, children, gear, and pets for ticks, bathe, and put all clothes worn outdoors into a dryer for 10-20 minutes. Speak to your Central Alberta Co-op Pharmacist for more information.

Hearing impairment not only affects your ability to understand speech, but it also has a negative impact on your social and emotional well-being, as you struggle to carry on meaningful conversations and avoid activities.
