Article on some of the important tick species in the United States, with a reminder that they sometimes harbor more than one disease. So even if you test positive for Lyme you might also have an undiagnosed, second illness. [gift link] #ticks #disease #nature #lyme #alphagal #health #ixodidae nytimes.com/2026/05/02/well/li

Found an eastern black-legged tick (Ixodes scapularis) on me Wednesday. Astute viewers will note lack of head ... because it is still inside me. Time to spray my clothing and work boots with permethrin again. #tick #ticks #ixodes #tmi #permethrin
