WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW

What is a tick bite?

A tick bite occurs when a tick, a small parasite, attaches itself to the skin and feeds on blood. Ticks are commonly found in wooded or grassy areas and can infect humans and animals with bacteria and viruses that can cause disease. While ticks can spread many diseases, a common disease associated with a tick bite is Lyme disease.
