Lyme disease

Throughout southern Manitoba, including Lower Fort Garry National Historic Site, from April to November, there is a small chance of being exposed to Lyme disease if bitten by an infected blacklegged (deer) tick. Lyme disease is a serious illness, however, it's easy to prevent and treat when caught early.
