The Dangers of Ticks

Many tick bites are harmless, but some can transmit diseases that are known to cause a range of health concerns. Signs of tick-transmitted diseases include fever, muscle aches, fatigue, and other flu-like symptoms. These dangers make tick control in Atlanta an excellent defense against these and other tick-borne diseases: 

• Lyme Disease 
• Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever 
• Southern Tick-Associated Rash Illness (STARI) 
• Ehrlichiosis

Another danger of tick bites is tick paralysis, an illness transmitted by the saliva of the American dog tick and the Rocky Mountain wood tick. Tick paralysis should be treated as a medical emergency, as it can cause weakness and limit mobility. Professional flea and tick control in Atlanta can help protect people and pets from these and other illnesses.
