Ticks and Diseases Ticks are known to spread several diseases in California. Certain kinds (species) of ticks spread certain diseases (not every single tick is carrying a disease). The most common disease ticks spread to people in California is called Lyme disease. If you get bitten by a tick, tell an adult right away so that it can be properly removed as soon as possible.

Example: Lyme Disease A western black-legged tick larva searches for a host. If it bites an animal that is infected with the bacterium that causes Lyme disease, the tick can become infected. After feeding, the infected larva molts into an infected nymph. If an infected nymph bites a person, the person may become sick. Infected adult ticks can also spread this disease to people. = not infected = infected
