Tick borne illnesses are diseases transmitted to humans through the bite of infected ticks. These small arachnids can carry various pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, and parasites, leading to illnesses such as Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, and anaplasmosis. Symptoms often include fever, fatigue, and rash, but they can vary depending on the specific illness. Preventing tick bites is crucial for reducing the risk of these diseases. People can protect themselves by wearing long sleeves and pants, using insect repellent, and checking for ticks after spending time in wooded or grassy areas. Early detection and treatment are essential for a full recovery.
