Yes, ticks on deer in Canada carry Bb.

Please keep in mind, you don't have to have contact with deer or be in " deer

country " to contract Lyme disease. Studies have shown that ticks on birds

have been the most efficient way for Lyme disease to travel around the

world. If you have ever seen a bird, you could have been in the vicinity of

an infected tick!

PS This may be redundant, but it has also been proven that " deer ticks "

feed off from other animals not just deer. For us city and suburb folk,

this means the raccoons and opossums that travel through our backyards also

carry infected ticks.

Is it possible to contract Lyme disease from Canadian deer?

In August 2001, I went to a petting zoo on the Canadian side of Niagra

falls, where there were deer. They brushed up against my side, and I

bought deer food from the concession, and I fed them.

Thank you.
