seen on radar over northern Maine and New Brunswick the night before.

John -- Is there a particular migratory path that leads to Nova Scotia?  =
I'm thinking of how there are some bad tick hotspots on the coastal =
parts of the eastern U.S. (like New Jersey) and maybe the birds that =
pass through those particular areas are the ones coming here.  Also, I'm =
wondering about the accuracy of the info about ticks with Lyme being =
worse here.  I believe I saw a map not long ago -- maybe on the CBC =
website -- showing that New Brunswick has some comparably bad Lyme =
hotspots.=20

By the way -- so far, this is turning out to be quite a ticky summer =
around my place and I'm hearing much the same from friends around here =
(Annapolis Royal).  Normally, the ticks seem to be less by the beginning =
of July.  Hope that will be the case this summer. =20

Dear All,

    In the July issue of Maclean's (p.17) are interesting data on Lyme =
disease incidence in Canada. The much higher incidence in NS, 21.5 times =
as high as the average incidence in the other nine provinces, is =
attributed to "climate and the large number of migratory birds carrying =
ticks from the US."

    I don't follow why NS would be hit the hardest.

Yt, DW
