After the popular success of the JCMS Editors Choice episode on Gypsy Moth Dermatitis, Editor-in-Chief Dr Kirk Barber brought that team back together for another fascinating derm and insect episode, looking at ticks and Lyme disease, bed bugs, maggots, spiders and lice. A creepy crawly conversation worthy of October and Hallowe'en!

Kirk is joined again for this episode by Dr Melinda Gooderham, Medical Director at the SKiN Centre for Dermatology in Peterborough, Ontario and an Assistant Professor at Queen's University. And Professor David Beresford, who teaches biology in the environmental studies program at Trent University, where he specializes in pest management.

The JCMS Podcast is produced by the CDA with David McGuffin of Explore Podcast Productions.

Our theme music is by Lee Rosevere.
