"Mapped: Tick Habitats Across the U.S."
The CDC has mapped out where various tick species live in the U.S., highlighting the regions where potentially dangerous ticks like the American dog tick, blacklegged tick, and Lone Star tick are found. These ticks can transmit serious illnesses such as Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, and even cause red meat allergies. Understanding their habitats can help people take precautions to avoid tick bites and the diseases they carry.
