Now that the weather is getting nice, New Jersey residents are spending more time outside. But they’re being warned to be on the lookout for a potential danger that is so small it might not even be noticed.
According to Pat Smith, the president of the Lyme Disease Association in Wall, ticks are out in force across the Garden State right now.
She said besides Lyme disease, which is carried by the deer tick, the American dog and Lone Star ticks also cause problems.
She said a newly discovered tick that lives on bats, appropriately called the bat tick, is being studied to see how much of threat it poses to humans.
