please do not believe this statement
"Problem areas are Prince Edward County and east along the St Lawrence valley and the north shore of Lake Erie. An infected tick needs to be attached to its host for at least 24 hrs before it can transmit Lyme disease"
Ticks with Lyme travel via birds and are just as prevalent in Stouffville and through out southern Ontario as they are in Prince Edward County, Also a tick with Lyme only has has to be attached for a short time, as soon as it transmits fluids which is when they swell up you are at risk.
Lyme is nothing you to take any chances with
