PHILADELPHIA - With summer right around the corner and people spending more time outside, wildlife experts are warning of a seasonal increase in ticks and the health risks they can pose.

Pennsylvania, according to wildlife experts, has become a hot bed for the tiny menaces. The Keystone State leads the nation in exposure to ticks and tick-borne pathogens. "The longer the tick is attached, the greater the risk," said Dr.

Nicole Chinnici from the Dr. Jane Huffman Wildlife Genetic Institute. Experts caution that it's too early to say exactly how bad of a tick season we're in for, but a mild winter and lack of snow brought ticks out early. "We have our juvenile, which are considered the nymph, are out right now," Dr.

Chinnici said. "They are the size of a poppy seed, and our exposure across Pennsylvania has been pretty high."Locals who spent Wednesday enjoying Valley Forge National Park spoke to FOX 29 about their early run-ins with ticks. "We were walking the dogs on Friday on the river trail down the Schuylkill and came home and were picking lots of ticks off the dogs, it's kind of scary," Michele Depetta said.

Can you pass the citizenship test? Most Canadians would fail, poll suggests
Canada Day approaches, but a new poll suggests their minds aren’t full of the knowledge needed to pass a citizenship test.In a survey of 1,512 Canadian adults, Leger found that only 23 per cent would pass the citizenship test, based on their answers to 10 randomly selected questions.People who wish to become Canadian need to answer 20 questions about citizens’ rights and responsibilities, as well as Canada’s history, geography, economy, government, laws and symbols.They need to score at least 75 per cent to pass, but the average score of the Canadians who were surveyed was only 49 per cent.The questions focused on things like famous Canadians (Who is John Buchan?), history (Who established the first European settlements in Canada?) and national symbols (Whose portrait is on the Canadian $10 bill?).The correct answers, for those struggling along with most survey respondents, are: a popular governor general, the French and Viola Desmond.History questions seemed to trip up respondents the most: For example, only 24 per cent knew that the House of Commons recognized in 2006 that the Quebecois form a nation within a united Canada.Only 29 per cent knew the Constitutional Act granted legislative assemblies elected by the people, and only 41 per cent knew that English settlement began in 1610.They fared slightly better when it came to national symbols and influential people: 49 per cent knew that Marjorie Turner-Bailey is an Olympian and descendant of black loyalists, and 42 per cent recognized Canada’s motto, “From sea to sea.”Most Canadians were also in-the-know about the main groups of Indigenous Peoples in the country, with 79 per cent correctly identifying First Nations, Metis and Inuit.People in Western Canada scored
