From North Carolina: "Ticks can transmit Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. Left untreated, they can cause serious health problems and can be fatal.
Now the Centers for Disease Control is warning about the Heartland Virus, which also can be fatal.
The virus was first diagnosed in Missouri in 2012. There also have been cases in Tennessee.
There have not been any confirmed cases in NC, but It's spread by the Lone Star tick, which is present here. "
