Lone Star Tick diseases can include STARI or Ehrlichiosis, but the lone star tick actually doesn't cause Lyme disease. Learn more.
Jana Pearce's insight:
"The lone star tick has spread from southern states all the way up to Maine. It is probably more common than the blacklegged deer tick that causes Lyme disease and cause at least three tick-borne diseases."
