Tick-borne diseases can be passed to humans by the bite of infected ticks. Ticks can be infected with bacteria, viruses, or parasites. Some of the most common tick-borne diseases in the United States include: Lyme disease, babesiosis, ehrlichiosis and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. According to the CDC \u2013 Lyme disease is the most commonly reported tick-borne disease in the United States. In fact 30,000 cases of Lyme Disease are reported yearly to the CDC.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some facts you need to know to help protect against ticks.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Ticks typically require 24-48 hours of feeding before they can successfully transmit infections like Lyme disease, so quick removal is crucial.<\/li>\n<li>Pets are easy targets for ticks when they play in the yard or going for a walk in wooded areas. If you\u2019re a pet owner, don\u2019t forget to check them frequently for ticks.<\/li>\n<li>Pets may contract multiple diseases from a single tick bite. These diseases can be very serious and even fatal. The tick that your pet carries into the house can bite you and spread disease.<\/li>\n<li>Use tweezers to remove a tick, not your bare hand. Do not twist to remove the tick and remove the tick close to the skin as it is important to not leave the head embedded.<\/li>\n<li>Be mindful of symptoms of tick disease including: a red spot or rash near bite site, neck stiffness, muscle or joint pain or a fever.<\/li>\n<li>For medical advice about tick bites or symptoms be sure to consult a medical professional.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ticks are not only a nuisance they also pose health risks.
