Welcome to TickFacts.com
If you have a pet or child that likes to play outdoors, you are probably familiar with ticks. But, contradictory to popular belief, a tick is actually an arachnid, not an insect.
Ticks are the second most common carrier of diseases (mosquitoes being the first). It is estimated that 70% of all Lyme Disease cases are caused by tick bites from ticks in our own yards, often via pets. So tick prevention and control are very important. Some species of ticks are more harmful than others and some are more likely to carry deadly diseases, and we discuss that too.
If you are the victim of a tick bite, it is necessary that you know how to remove a tick properly and what, if any, medical attention to seek.
