Ticks
If you’re thinking about dangerous insects you find in the summer, you’ll probably think of ticks. However, if you want to be technical, they are not insects but arachnids. Anyone who shares their habitat with herds of deer will be aware of Lyme disease, but ticks carry more infections than that.
The CDC has reported that the number of illnesses that ticks carry has increased by a hundred percent over the last 13 years. These diseases include babesiosis (a disease of red blood cells), Rocky Mountain spotted fever and bacterial infection anaplasmosis.
