Tick-borne illnesses are diseases transmitted to humans through the bite of infected ticks. Common examples include Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, and Anaplasmosis. These illnesses can cause a range of symptoms, from mild fever and fatigue to severe complications if left untreated. Ticks thrive in grassy and wooded areas, making outdoor activities a risk factor for exposure. Preventive measures include wearing protective clothing, using insect repellent, and performing tick checks after spending time outdoors. Early detection and treatment are crucial for managing tick-borne illnesses effectively.
