For Ontario parents

Tick-bite support for Ontario families

AfterTick gives families a clinician-guided path to prepare for foreseeable exposure or seek timely assessment after a bite. Treatment and prescriptions are never guaranteed.

What should a parent do after finding a tick?

Remove it promptly with clean, fine-tipped tweezers, record the date and location, save the tick or a clear photo when possible, and seek medical guidance if your child feels unwell or you are concerned.

Can families prepare before camp or cottage season?

Families with foreseeable exposure can begin an advance medical assessment and preparedness plan. A licensed practitioner decides which options, if any, are appropriate for the individual.
