They don't live together intentionally, but because deer do take refuge under trees and in brush, and ticks live in trees and brush, they're thrust together just like humans are...
Because deer tick suck the deers blood. The deer is the deer ticks' host.

The deer most definitely does not benefit in this relationship, but the tick does, making this relationship parasitic. Ticks drink the deer's blood, but can irritate a deer or even make it sick if there are too many ticks living on its body.

A deer does not receive any benefits from ticks. Ticks suck some of a deer's blood and can potentially infect the deer with disease. Ticks, however, benefit from deer by getting a meal from the deer's blood.
