Arkansas: "The Natural State is home to several different species of ticks, and the diseases they carry often have non-specific symptoms, so people don't realize just how sick they are."

"There usually gets to be a pretty high fever, joint aches and just in general feeling pretty lousy," says Mercy Physician Chris Johnson. "There is blood work that we can do and there are antibiotics we can use to help get rid of these tick borne illnesses, but the scary thing about it is they can potentially be fatal."
