Lyme disease caused my oldest’s face to become temporarily paralyzed a few years ago. This isn’t a disease to take lightly.
Early spring is especially dangerous because tick nymphs are TINY. Be vigilant!

You’re welcome. It really is scary!
It is tick season out here in California right now, and our dog picks them up all the time. We’re lucky that there is very little lyme disease out here, but we still hate ticks. Thanks for the informative post.
good reminder! I have lots of trees & dense brushy areas around my home & one year just taking some garden clean-up into the woods for self composting my hubby found one on me. you never know where they will hide! thanks
That’s how big they actually are? I’ve only seen ticks on TV, and since they’re magnified so much, I think I have a distorted view of what they would look like on a person’s body! Good information and thanks for the reminder!
That is how big SOME of them really are. The dog ticks are big, but deer ticks (the ones you need to be careful of because they carry Lyme disease) are smaller, and the nymph stage ticks are teensy. Be happy you have only seen them on TV – I detest the things.
