You can submit your ticks for identification to the NS Museum of Natural Hi=
story 1747 Summer Street. Attention Andrew Hebda
There is no more testing being undertaken as part of the passive surveillan=
ce program in Nova Scotia,, but information on precautions as well as what =
to do is provided on the following web-site: http://www.gov.ns.ca/hpp/cdpc/=
lyme.asp.
We are still collevcting information concerning the distribution of all spe=
cies of ticks in the Province, so all specimens are welcome.
If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me.

I may be wrong and someone can confirm this, but I don't think DNR is accep=
ting ticks anymore for Lyme testing, or at least for free lyme testing. We =
used to submit them from dogs all the time and I'm pretty sure that's not h=
appening anymore.

Dear All, Apr 27, 2013
I also brought a tick home Thursday, probably on the left pant leg becau=
se, when I had a bath last night I found it firmly attached to my left ankl=
e.
I had my pant legs outside of rubber boots on Thursday, with cuffs rolle=
d up, and didn't roll them down until Friday morning (requires going outdoo=
rs to shed accumulated sawdust) so it must have spent the night in the pant=
cuff.
