Each spring deer ticks surface across North America. The deer tick is the primary source of Lyme disease which is a bacterial infection that manifests after an animal is bitten by a tick. The bacteria enters the animals blood stream and settles into its joints.
Symptoms of Lyme disease include lameness, limping and a high fever.
Lyme disease vaccinations do exist and must be administered by a vet.
Other actions you can take to minimize exposure to Lyme disease include:
Avoid walking through leaves and short trees in grassy, wooded and sandy areas.

Remove ticks with tweezers and gloves.
Never touch a tick with your own hands.
