Fleas and ticks may threats enter your home and office for food and shelter. Unfortunately, the food source is your blood or the blood of your pets. Fleas and ticks have been known to carry diseases that could harm you and your pets.

 Some of the harm that can be caused by a flea or tick bite includes:

  • Tapeworm
  • Bacterial diseases
  • Allergies
  • Skin diseases
  • Tick Fever
  • Bartonellosis
  • Lyme Disease
  • Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever

You should take fleas and ticks infestation seriously; these bites have lead to diseases that cause serious illness to humans and pets; a bite could also lead to death. 

Is there Lyme Disease in NYC?

 The quick answer is yes. Lyme disease is the most common tick causing disease in the US and in NYC.  The disease starts by the spreading of a bacteria that gets transmitted through a tick bite. There are three stages of the disease, the first one being when the bacteria has not spread, the second where the bacteria begins to spread and the third one when the bacteria has spread throughout the whole body. The good news is that the tick has to be attached to the body from 24-36 hours for the bacteria to spread and most people who get bitten by a tick don’t get lyme disease. To avoid getting sick make sure you check your body if you’ve been out gardening hunting, hiking or just outside for a while, especially during tick season.

Deer ticks  or black-legged ticks are the only ones that carry the bacteria that causes Lyme Disease. Other common ticks in NYC are the dog tick and the lone start ticks but they don’t carry the bacteria.

See below the two-year lifecycle of the deer tick (black legged tick). They pose the biggest risk to humans from April to July
