Mostly found in wooded or brushy areas, the blacklegged tick is the only species of tick known to carry Lyme disease. If you encounter a tick, you can upload a photo to the Etick website at www.etick.ca to find out if it's a blacklegged tick. If it is, you can submit it to Peterborough Public Health for testing in case it is infected with the bacteria that causes Lyme disease.
