--Boundary_(ID_IfYo4pEMqz1ZvXUwgMXwfg) Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT Dave, if your second, smaller tick is different from a dog/wood tick, it should be turned in to DNR or the N.S. Museum of Nat. Hist. For everyone else, please remember that unidentified ticks should be turned in if possible. Put them in a small pill bottle with a bit of moist paper towel, or just Scotch-tape them to a piece of paper. There are at least 10 kinds of ticks in Nova Scotia, and the authorities are still interested in the distribution and abundance particularly of the black-legged or deer tick which carries the bacterium that causes Lyme disease.
