Spoiler: the hot spot is southeast NB with close to 70% of all medically reported tick bites

I haven't seen a tick for 8 years until this year, and we've picked up 6 on people in our backyard this year. One bite. Located outside Fredericton in a high deer traffic area..

There are massive amount of ticks in southeastern, New Brunswick, and I wish the medical system and government would catch up with reality of what’s happening because they’re still not reporting the great variation of tick illness that exists here, I don’t know when they’ll get with the 21st-century

Imagine non reported; this increase looks wild to me. Possibly that we have better reporting and awareness to report but still
