Ticks: Life cycle, species, and where you’re most at risk

Different tick species, such as blacklegged (deer) ticks, Rocky Mountain wood ticks, and American dog ticks, live in different regions of North America. Depending on where you live, you may occasionally find ticks on your pet, as ticks attach themselves to hosts to feed. While most tick bites are harmless, diseases spread by infected ticks can be fatal.
