6 Lone Star Tick Diseases You Can Get From an Infected Bite

Prevention Tips

The best way to protect yourself from Lone Star tick-borne diseases is prevention:

• Use EPA-approved tick repellents on skin and clothing
• Wear long sleeves and pants when hiking or working outdoors
• Conduct full-body tick checks after spending time outside
• Keep grass and brush trimmed around your yard
• Promptly remove any attached ticks with fine-tipped tweezers

Early removal is critical, as the risk of transmission increases with the time the tick remains attached.

Final Thoughts

Lone Star ticks may be small, but the diseases they can transmit are serious. Awareness, prevention, and prompt medical attention for tick bites can drastically reduce your risk. If you develop symptoms after a tick bite, contact a healthcare professional immediately.
