For Prescription Repeats:

• It is not always necessary for you to make an appointment to have a prescription renewed.
• If you need repeats, ask your pharmacy to fax a prescription renewal request to your doctor 7-10 days before you are due to run out.
• It is very important that you don’t wait until the last minute to do this as your doctor requires at least 48 to 72 business hours for all prescription repeats to be sent to your pharmacy.
• Did you know that your pharmacy may charge you for a prescription renewal when your doctor is away? Renew your prescription in advance!
• Once your doctor receives this request, if he or she needs to see you before repeating the prescription, one of our office staff will contact you to arrange an appointment.

HELPFUL LINKS AND INFORMATION
What To Do
Ticks & Lyme Disease  (WDG Public Health)
Public Health Ontario’s most up-to-date map of High-Risk areas
Learn about Blacklegged Tick Habitat   (TickEncounter, University of Rhode Island)
Lyme Disease  (Gov of Canada)
eTick.ca - Image-based identification and population monitoring of ticks in Canada

Despite this map, because Blacklegged Ticks are frequently transported by migratory birds, they can be found anywhere in the province of Ontario.

Public Health recommends the following:

• Be vigilant … learn about the kinds of habitat that different ticks prefer so these areas can be avoided (Blacklegged ticks are typically found in mixed hardwood forest areas that are also home to small mammals such as mice, squirrels, chipmunks, etc.)

• Conduct “tick checks” whenever you, family members, pets, etc. have spent time in the kind of habitat that ticks prefer (checking each other out, especially those places we can’t see on our own like the back areas of the body, including the head)

• Learn about the symptoms of Lyme disease … ticks are able to bite without being noticed and many people who acquire the disease have no recollection of any tick encounters, but being aware of the symptoms that Lyme causes can be instrumental in preventing further progress of the disease

• Learn about the seasonal activity of Blacklegged ticks … they are not all killed off by winter, adults have two “peak seasons” in spring and then autumn, and the nymphs which are quite a lot smaller than the adults are most active during the warmer parts of the summertime when people are more active outdoors and wearing less clothing. Nymphs require less time feeding to transit the bacteria, and are small enough to usually go unnoticed

The only way to prevent ticks from biting is through repellency and avoidance of favourable habitat.

If you would like to have the infection status of the tick, it can be submitted to a private lab for testing. 
Two private laboratories that will test Blacklegged ticks for Borrelia burgdorferi are:  

• Entomogen 
• Geneticks 

Dogs can acquire the bacteria and develop Lyme disease, but symptoms occur in less than 5% of cases according to past and current research and literature. If you have concerns about Lyme disease in dogs, discuss with your veterinarian.
