Dangers of Ticks and Tick-Borne Diseases
Ticks are small but mighty vectors for various diseases. Connecticut is home to several tick species, some of which are particularly notorious for spreading illnesses.
The most common ticks found in Connecticut are the deer tick (black-legged tick), dog tick (wood tick), and lone star tick.
They have different preferences in their hosts, with deer ticks favoring deer and small mammals, dog ticks attaching to dogs, cattle, and humans, and the lone star tick often biting humans and pets.
Lyme disease is the most well-known tick-borne illness, presenting symptoms like a rash, fever, and fatigue. However, ticks can spread a range of diseases, including:
- Anaplasmosis
- Babesiosis
- Powassan virus
- Ehrlichiosis
Each disease has its own set of symptoms and severity, and some can cause long-term health complications if not diagnosed and treated early.
Regular tick checks and knowing the symptoms of tick-borne diseases are your first line of defense. However, to truly protect your family, professional tick control services are invaluable.
