Thank you for the information on Lyme Disease. Such a small tick that too in the nymph stage can cause such a dreaded disease; really surprising. Due to the nymphal stage it is difficult to find and remove them.

If you have any greenspace on your property where your kids play, (especially if you live in the Northeast) you should make it as inhospitable to ticks as possible. Keep the grass short, and try to get rid of any scruffy, leafy areas. We have been using Damminix tick tubes (www.ticktubes.com) for the last couple of years, and they seem to work well. They get rid of the ticks - and don’t harm the wildlife.

Great post. I don’t think about Lyme Disease much in Southern California but it is present in many places we travel. A great reminder. Thank you!

Carmen, Kenton and Rebecca thankyou for your great comments. Your experiences show us all that ticks and lyme disease are not something to be ignored!

Thanks for this great post — it’s so important to be educated about Lyme Disease. We’ve both had it, as well as both of our dogs (despite vaccines) — but if we had read your article we would have been better prepared. Thanks for encouraging people not to allow this to be a reason to fear going outside — with the awareness you’ve suggested above, it’s easy to prevent an infection, and even in the event that you get Lyme Disease, it can be successfully treated if you get a prompt diagnosis. We’ve all been successfully ‘cured’, and haven’t had any follow-up problems.

This is an important post! My backyard (which backs up to woods and field) seems to be a haven for ticks. I had really only seen dog ticks for most of my life. A couple of years ago my 3-yo had a little black dot on his neck. I thought it was a speck of dirt until it didn’t wipe off. It turns out it was a deer tick. Those things are tiny and tricky! I don’t know when we would have found that if it was on his scalp!
