According to the CDC, ticks can be as small as a poppyseed making them sometimes impossible to spot, even during thorough tick checks.

A species of tick, which is normally native to East Asia, has been found in New Jesery after a farmer was covered in "thousands" of them.

After a super mild winter the bug population are going to be out in full force this year...and that means more ticks with more diseases.

The Cape is seeing some new Southern visitors this year and their company is not welcome.  The Lone Star tick, commonly found in the South, has made its way up to parts of the Cape including Sandy Neck Beach, according to Cape Cod Times.
