As summer arrives, so do Mosquitoes and ticks.
The bites do become annoying at times, but they can also make you sick.
The Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit would like to help prevent anyone from getting the West Nile Virus and Lyme disease.
The unit says to avoid tall grassy areas and shrubs in wooded areas, also a reminder to stay in the middle of hiking trails.
To prevent Mosquito bites they also advise to wear lighter clothing and long sleeved shirts.
