When a tick grabs on to you and drains your blood and also if a tick is very small; how long has it been about on a person.


Answers:

Deer ticks can carry Lyme Disease, although, despite the numerous ticks I've had latch on to me running around in the woods in my backyard, I've never contracted it. Rocky Mountain wood ticks can cause Rocky Mountain spotted fever and tularemia, tularemia was a bio-weapon used by the Russians in WWII so I'm sure there's more info on that.
