Doctors are saying tick bites are sending more people to the emergency room, leading to heightened concern around Lyme disease as the weather warms and bug activity picks up.
There has been a steady increase in reported cases of Lyme disease across Canada, according to officials. In 2009, 144 cases were reported. By 2023, preliminary data shows more than 2,500.
As health reporter Katherine Ward explains, there may be growing demand for a vaccine.
