The primary risk during tick season is the transmission of diseases such as Lyme disease, which can lead to severe health complications if untreated. Individuals engaging in outdoor activities in wooded or grassy areas are at higher risk of tick bites. Children, hikers, and pet owners are particularly vulnerable. Early detection and removal of ticks are crucial to reducing the likelihood of disease transmission. Without proper precautions, tick bites can result in symptoms ranging from mild irritation to serious illness requiring medical intervention.
