MAINE TICK SAFETY

“ Ticks can be active any time of the year when there is no snow cover. It’ s remarkable, but true, that something so small can cause such big trouble for folks. Dog ticks( also called wood ticks) are common throughout Maine and generally don’ t transmit disease when they embed in a person, though they can cause a nasty infection.
Deer ticks are best-known as vectors for Lyme Disease, but they can also transmit other concerning diseases such as Anaplasmosis and Babesiosis. Tiny deer tick nymphs are most active in June and July, and either they or the females( which have a reddish back with an all-black head and“ shoulders”) can transmit the diseases.”
