There are a variety of options for you in Nova Scotia to get help with your tick-related health concerns.
Call 811
If you need support in choosing where to go for care for your tick-related health concern, please call 811 to speak with a registered nurse.
The Tick Talk Bot
The Tick Talk Bot assists people in removing attached ticks and seeking healthcare, if appropriate, after a tick bite.
At the time of a recent tick bite, the bot should answer questions about symptoms to watch for, when to seek medical care, and how to prevent future tick bites.
Family Doctor or Nurse Practitioner
Your family doctor or nurse practitioner should be the first person you contact for your tick-related health concerns.
Other Primary Care Options
If your family doctor or nurse practitioner is not available, or if you do not have one, there are lots of primary care options in your community to support you. Learn more about these options at nshealth.ca/wheretogoforcare.
