In contrast to most tick species, a single female tick can reproduce offspring (1-2,000 eggs at a time) without mating. As a result, hundreds to thousands of ticks can be found on a single animal, person, or in the environment. Livestock producers and pet owners should work with their veterinarians to maintain regular tick prevention and report any unknown tick species to their local department of agriculture.

In Asia, the tick carries a newfound virus that causes human hemorrhagic fever and kills up to 30 percent of its victims. In 2013, South Korea reported 36 cases, 17 of whom died. Although that virus is not in the United States, it is closely related to the Heartland virus, another life-threatening tick-borne disease that circulates in the United States. Health officials are particularly concerned about the tick’s ability to adapt to be a vector for that virus and other tick-borne illnesses in the United States.

It’s the cdc scare of the year. “We’re all gunna die from it.” Just like West Nile, Ebola, bird flu, Zika.....

At least they are sticking with medical issues this time.
I still can't figure out how the CDC thinks an inanimate object (firearm) is disease or even medical related.

I know, it's the gun haters and their money....
