What diseases do ticks carry?
In the United States alone, ticks are known to carry more than 15 different types of diseases. These diseases are transmitted to humans when an infected tick latches onto and bites a human to feed on their blood. The longer an infected tick is able to remain on a body, the more likely that person is to contract a disease. Tick-borne diseases include Lyme disease, anaplasmosis, babesiosis, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, tularemia, ehrlichiosis, Colorado tick fever, and more. Perhaps the most-feared tick-borne disease is Lyme disease.
Some of the symptoms of early untreated Lyme disease include:
