One of the worst things about a tick bite is the possibility of getting Lyme Disease from the bite. The disease can be hard to detect and to treat once it is detected, so wearing a good repellant is important when you are out in the woods.

Apparently , climate change is causing the migration, and in the South, where they have always been prolific, they are actually decreasing.
