The Silent Danger: Tick-Borne Diseases

Ticks are far more than a seasonal problem; they can carry serious, sometimes life-changing diseases. These tiny parasites can transmit infections to humans and pets alike which can lead to health issues that may last long after the initial bite and may get worse over time.

Common Tick-Borne Diseases

  • Lyme Disease: Fever, fatigue, joint pain, and possible neurological issues; untreated cases may lead to severe arthritis and nervous system complications.
  • Anaplasmosis: Fever, muscle aches, headaches; can become severe in vulnerable individuals if not diagnosed promptly.
  • Babesiosis: Infects red blood cells; flu-like symptoms and potential hemolytic anemia; severe cases can be life-threatening.
  • Other Regional Risks: Powassan virus, ehrlichiosis, and more—risk varies by region.
Did you know? In many tick-prone regions, the incidence of Lyme disease alone has increased dramatically over the past decade — so without any doubt they should be prevented as fast as possible.

Impact on Family & Pets

Children, older adults, and pets are particularly vulnerable. A single bite can trigger serious health consequences, and pets may experience lethargy, joint pain, or even life-threatening complications if infected. The treatment can be depressing and costly.

How Ticks Invade Your Home & Yard

Ticks hitch rides on wildlife, pets, and people—often after time outdoors.

Common Entry Points

  • Wildlife such as deer, rodents, and birds
  • Pets after walks or backyard play
  • Humans via clothing/shoes after tall grass or trails

Preferred Habitats

  • Leaf litter, tall grasses, overgrown shrubs
  • Wooded edges, stone walls, shaded & humid spots
Expert Tip: Keep grass short, clear leaf litter, and trim dense bushes. Pair maintenance with professional treatment for lasting results.
