Deer Ticks And Hunting Season

With hunting season in full swing, the threat of deer ticks looms large. Whether you’re after big game, small game, or waterfowl, one thing is certain-New York and Pennsylvania are teeming with these tiny but dangerous creatures.

Because these seemingly harmless ticks can carry Lyme disease, a potentially fatal condition.

Deer ticks are sneaky, but with a thorough self-check, you can stay one step ahead. Their bite is painless, they are very tiny and hard to see, and they tend to bite us in places we don’t look. Such as the groin area and genitals, creases of the knee or elbow, on the head in our hair, in our ears or under the ear flap, the armpits, and so on.
