Ticks can transmit a number of diseases, including Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever & Lyme Disease. These can be debilitating. Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever is more common in Florida and the mortality rate is high when it goes untreated. Check yourself after a hike or any walk that takes you through long grasses or dense overgrowth. Remove any ticks as soon as you find it. Don't delay, and make sure you remove the head of the tick and not just the body. If the head is left it will still feed and can pass disease. Put the tick in a bag with a good seal, so you can ensure you've got the entire thing. If you have a tick problem, call Slug-A-Bug at 321-259-7844. https://goo.gl/CxoqeX
