Spike in tick-borne disease

Spike in tick-borne disease Anaplasmosis is a bacterial infection, like Lyme disease, that is transmitted by the bite of an infected tick. To prevent exposure avoid wooded and bushy areas with high grass, walk in the center of trails, wear repellent with DEET on skin or clothing, take a bath or shower within two hours of coming indoors and conduct a full-body tick check under arms, ears, the belly button, backs of knees, between legs, around the waist, and in and around all head and body hair.
