While Lyme disease is one of the more commonly known diseases transmitted by ticks, two others getting more attention are babesiosis, caused by a parasite, and anaplasmosis, a bacterial disease.

"Lethargy, limping and sometimes you'll see vomiting, you don't know what's wrong but your dog seems off," she said. Experts say it's too early to predict this year's tick season as it typically gets underway once temperatures hit about 40 degrees. Ticks thrive in warm, relatively moist weather and don't do as well when it's hot and dry."You want people to take care," Yeh said. "When they're out in the great wilderness, they should carry a magnifying glass with them, there are tweezers, and big, wide masking tape and just check themselves frequently.
