“What’s small, sometimes too small to be seen with the eye, and lives off the blood of mammals? Ticks. These small, parasitic creatures feed off the blood of animals and humans and, more importantly, spread disease. The one everyone’s heard about is Lyme disease, but that isn’t the only tick-borne illness outdoors-lovers have to worry about this summer. Babesiosis, ehrlichiosis, Rocky Mountain spotted fever and human granulocytic anaplasmosis are just a few of the other tick-borne illnesses that are lurking in wooded and grassy areas.” (07/23/08)
