The bites result in intense itching which can last for 2 to 3 weeks. The lone star tick is not a vector of Lyme disease but can carry human ehrlichiosis and is associated with red meat allergy. The blacklegged tick Ixodes scapularis is being found more frequently in Kentucky. Unlike other Kentucky ticks, adult males and females are active from October to April. Females have long mouthparts, orange red bodies, and a dark plate over part of their backs.

Males, which do not feed, have a dark plate over their backs. The larvae and nymphs of this 3-host tick live in moist leaf litter near the edge of woods.

Reported cases of Lyme disease - CDC map. The blacklegged tick is the main vector of Lyme disease in the north east and north central states. While this tick occurs across the southern US, the incidence of Lyme disease in this region is very low.

An infected tick usually has to attach and feed for several hours before it can transmit a disease organism to its host. It is important to check regularly for ticks and remove them immediately to reduce the chance of becoming infected with diseases like erlichiosis or spotted fever. Use fine-tipped tweezers to grasp the tick as close to the skin's surface as possible. Pull upward with steady, even pressure. Don't twist or jerk the tick; this can cause the mouth-parts to break off and remain in the skin.

If this happens, remove the mouthparts with tweezers. If you are unable to remove the mouth easily with clean tweezers, leave it alone and let the skin heal.

After removing the tick, thoroughly clean the bite area and your hands with rubbing alcohol, an iodine scrub, or soap and water. Never crush a tick with your fingers. Itching can be relieved by applying topical ointments such as those containing hydrocortisone. Keep the tick. Place it in a container with alcohol for at least three weeks. Should any disease-related symptoms appear, the identity of the tick may help the physician with a diagnosis. The Entomology Department at the University of Kentucky will identify ticks at no charge.

Specimens should be accompanied by the date and county from which the tick was collected. Free-roaming pets are much more likely to become infested than are pets that are confined. Fencing yards prevents pets from picking up ticks from surrounding areas. Fencing also discourages dogs and other large animals from introducing ticks onto the property.

Ticks on pets can be controlled using sprays, dips, dusts, and insecticide-impregnated collars. Pet owners should be advised to consult with their veterinarian for appropriate products to use on their pet. Pet pens and runs also can be sprayed to control ticks that may be present in those areas. Products labeled for tick control outdoors are usually labeled for use in these areas as well.

Do not contaminate food or water. Ticks are sometimes a problem in yards, especially when pets are kept outdoors. Ticks also can be a serious problem in parks, camps, picnic sites, and other recreational areas. A good way to determine if ticks are present is to drag a 3-ft x 3-ft white flannel cloth through suspected areas. Ticks will attach and be visible against the white background. Tick populations can be reduced in these areas by mowing and trimming lawns and other vegetation, thus creating a less favorable habitat for ticks and their wild hosts.

Wood, brush piles, and other accumulated debris should also be removed. Insecticide sprays are most effective when directed into areas where ticks and their animal hosts are likely to frequent.

Pay particular attention to borders and fences between wooded or brushy areas and the lawn, around ornamental plantings, beside foot paths, and the dog house. A single application during late April or May is often all that is required, although treatment may need to be repeated in June.

The ground and vegetation up to a height of about three feet should be thoroughly wetted with the insecticide.

The insecticide should be applied according to label instructions. Children and pets should be kept off treated areas until the vegetation is completely dry. Treating the entire lawn is of little benefit since ticks avoid direct sunlight and normally will not infest areas that are well maintained.

Tick control indoors is seldom required in Kentucky.
