Ticks crawl, they do not jump or fly. Ticks feed at each stage of their life cycle (larva, nymph, adult). Ticks most often climb on from below, hitching a ride on foot or shin, crawling up to a bite site. In most cases people will not feel a tick bite. Tick borne diseases: Lyme, Anaplasmosis, Babesiosis, Ehrlichiosis, Tularemia, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, Powassan Virus, Alpha-gal Syndrome, Larval Tick Dermatitis. Get Ticktogs protection.
