No. Some brown deer ticks do carry the spirochete that causes Lyme disease. Lyme disease is a multi-system bacterial infection caused by the spirochete, Borrelia burgdorferi. The spirochete is transmitted from one animal to another through the bite of the infective tick.
The production of acorns by oak trees affects Lyme disease in humans because deer and deer mice eat acorns, deer ticks carry Lyme disease live on deer and deer mice. If the acorn level drops, the deer and deer mice population drops, the deer tick population drops, and there are less deer ticks to give humans Lyme disease.
Ticks don't 'cause' Lyme disease. Lyme disease is caused by a group of spirochete bacteria (namely: Borrelia burgdorferisensu lato). Ticks are only the vectors(=carriers) of these pathogens. The main vectors are deer ticks (Ixodes scapularis) in North America, and sheep ticks (Ixodes ricinus) in Europe.
Yes, Lymes disease can be transmitted trough contact with blood, for it is spread through the Deer Tick, which is a blood sucking insect that carries the disease . Because of this, it can be transmitted trough the blood, but not other bodily fluids.
Ticks get infected with the Lyme disease bacteria when they feed on an infected animal, such as mice or deer. The bacteria then multiply and are passed on to other hosts, including humans, through the tick's bite while feeding.
Lyme disease is typically spread by deer ticks, which are found throughout Georgia. Therefore, it is possible to contract Lyme disease in any part of Georgia where these ticks are present. It is important to take precautions such as wearing insect repellent and checking for ticks after outdoor activities.
No. Deer ticks carry Lyme disease.
Lymes disease is contracted in humans in only one way. The western blacklegged tick in British Columbia or the blacklegged tick, sometimes called the deer tick, carry bacteria which is spread to humans, causing Lymes disease. Ticks become infected by feeding on infected animals. http://www.accuconference.com/
Lyme Disease is mainly spread through deer ticks. but it can be in any ticks

No, but theyre part of the life cycle. Deer ticks transmit lyme disease
Mainly Ticks
Short answer: Yes. It is actually the brown tick which can be on other mammals as well as deer and dogs. ------------------------ Hi: I would add to this that any tick can be a carrier of Lyme. It is no longer thought that only deer ticks carry it. There are other tick borne diseases as well that they carry. take care, -J
Well, let's follow this line of reasoning. Deer ticks cause Lyme disease,deer live in the forest with coniferous trees, the ticks live on the deer, so I would say yes.

They don't live together intentionally, but because deer do take refuge under trees and in brush, and ticks live in trees and brush, they're thrust together just like humans are...Because deer tick suck the deers blood. The deer is the deer ticks' host.
