Dangers Of Ticks:

Tick bites by themselves typically just cause local irritation and are usually not dangerous. The dangerous part comes with the diseases and bacteria transferred through the tick’s saliva. An allergic reaction to a tick’s saliva can also cause “Tick Paralysis”.

Diseases Contracted From Tick Bites:tick logo

  • Anaplasmosis
  • Babesiosis
  • Enrlichiosis
  • Lyme Disease
  • Rickettsia Parkeri Rickettsiosis
  • Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever
  • Tularemia

The CDC reported 805 confirmed cases of Lyme disease in the state of Virginia and 1113 confirmed cases in Maryland in 2012 but they estimate the number is actually much higher.
