A Canadian father is warning others about the dangers of tick bites after his son suffered a medical crisis after a family hike.

The six-year-old from Merritt, B.C., woke up last Thursday unable to walk.
His father, Jamie Stevens, said he felt “sheer panic” at his son’s condition.

Stevens said it wasn’t until they returned from the hospital that they discovered a large tick attached to the boy’s scalp.

Klaudia Van Emmerik reports on the family’s terrifying ordeal – and how to lower your own risk.
