Brown ticks can carry Lyme disease and can be found in many areas in the United States. Lyme disease has spread rapidly throughout the U.S. in recent years.
Ticks don't 'cause' Lyme disease. Lyme disease is caused by a group of spirochete bacteria (namely: Borrelia burgdorferisensu lato). Ticks are only the vectors(=carriers) of these pathogens. The main vectors are deer ticks (Ixodes scapularis) in North America, and sheep ticks (Ixodes ricinus) in Europe.
No, you cannot get Lyme poisoning from concrete. Lyme disease is caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi, which is transmitted through the bite of infected ticks, not through contact with concrete. Concrete does not harbor or transmit the bacteria associated with Lyme disease.
the adult ticks are much larger, more easily noticed, and more likely to be removed before the 24 hours or more of continuous feeding needed to transmit Borrelia burgdorferi
Yes, Lyme disease has been reported in Israel. It is primarily found in the northern part of the country where there are wooded areas and suitable habitats for the ticks that transmit the disease. Precautions such as wearing protective clothing and using insect repellent can help prevent Lyme disease in Israel.
Blacklegged ticks are carriers of lyme disease
No, but theyre part of the life cycle. Deer ticks transmit lyme disease

Lyme disease
There are a few dangers associated with tick bites. Firstly, when removing the tick one must make sure to remove the head as well as the body to prevent bleeding. Another risk is Lyme Disease.

Lyme Disease is mainly spread through deer ticks. but it can be in any ticks
Well, let's follow this line of reasoning. Deer ticks cause Lyme disease,deer live in the forest with coniferous trees, the ticks live on the deer, so I would say yes.
No. Deer ticks carry Lyme disease.
Mainly Ticks
Lyme disease is primarily caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi, which is predominantly transmitted to humans through the bite of infected black-legged ticks, commonly known as deer ticks (Ixodes scapularis). Other tick species can carry similar bacteria, but they do not efficiently transmit Lyme disease. The ecological and behavioral characteristics of deer ticks, such as their specific host preferences and feeding habits, contribute to their role as the main vectors for this disease. Thus, while other ticks may pose health risks, deer ticks are the primary transmitters of Lyme disease.
sadly yes..... they can.
the adult ticks are much larger, more easily noticed, and more likely to be removed before the 24 hours or more of continuous feeding needed to transmit Borrelia burgdorferi
