Tick-borne diseases are illnesses caused by pathogens that ticks transmit to humans and animals. These tiny arachnids feed on the blood of their hosts and can carry various bacteria, viruses, and parasites. Common tick-borne diseases include Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, and Anaplasmosis. Symptoms often include fever, fatigue, and rashes, depending on the specific disease. Preventing tick-borne diseases involves avoiding tick-infested areas, wearing protective clothing, and using insect repellent. If you find a tick on your body, it's essential to remove it properly to reduce the risk of infection. Early detection and treatment are crucial for a full recovery from these diseases.
