Transmission by ticks is a critical source of lyme disease. Avoiding exposure, using insects repellent in endemic areas, and killing fleas and ticks on pets, are all means of prevention. Deer herders and deer hunters are at risk from deer-borne ticks.

You can't 100% protect yourself, but when you are in the woods, or other areas where there may be a lot of ticks, make sure your legs and ankles aren't exposed. Also you may want to try using bug sprays that say they also protect against ticks. Don't forget to do tick checks after coming in from outdoors!

The first thing you need to do is to observe your tick bite and check for sings or symptoms of infection, and if found, treat that infection. Another good thing to do is to treat it with an preventive antibiotic immediately.
