Wherever you find the white-tailed deer, you will always find deer ticks. Deer ticks are mostly found in eastern parts of the United States as these areas are densely populated with trees. Deer ticks oftentimes pitch their nests on grass tips as well as leaves, making it easy for them to cling to the fur of passing deer. They (deer ticks) tend to live on grasses along road trails or in forest areas where there is a subdivision. Deer, as well as other grass eating animals are live in their numbers in such areas.
Deer ticks when they mature vary in size, and their size largely depend state of feeding and sex. Averagely, their size is about that of a sesame seed. Female tick at an average size of 2.7mm grow bigger in size when they reach adulthood than the males. Deer ticks can be easily recognized by their orange-brown color, which turns brown-red once the blood sucking insect feeds to its fill. Also, its belly tends to inflate a bit after a meal. The Deer tick is half the size of the American dog tick.
Deer ticks, when they bite inflict no form of pain to their victim, as their bites are completely painless. For this reason, it is important you thoroughly check yourself when hiking or camping. Female ticks when they attack tend to stay longer on the skin of their host than their male counterparts. Should you notice severe allergic reaction in the event of a Deer tick bite, quickly seek medical assistance.

Lyme disease has been scientifically proven to be caused by Borrelia burgdoferi, a deadly form of bacteria. This bacteria is transmitted by deer tick, and find their way into our body when bitten by Deer tick.
Deer ticks are wingless creatures and lack the capacity to jump. However, they can be easily picked up by dogs and cats as they live mostly around grassy areas where these animals frequent. A deer tick ridden dog can quickly spread Lyme disease, and so should be contained once noticed.
It is pretty difficult to notice deer ticks no thanks to their incredibly small size and completely painless bites. They can only be noticed when they become swollen after feeding to their fill.
