Anyone who spends any time outside can become a victim to the native pests of Oklahoma. Now's the time for us to declare war on them. Ticks are one of these pests. These crawly critters can be found anywhere in the area and once they've attached themselves to your body, you can be in for a miserable time. I've had numerous encounters with them.
Ticks carry numerous diseases that are harmful to man.
The two most notable ones are Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever and Lyme Disease. I've known people to come down with both of these ailments, and, trust me, you don't want to catch them. Prevention is the best method to avoid these sicknesses. If the tick can't bite you, then you have nothing to worry about. The problem is it just isn't that simple.
