The Rise of Ticks and a Surge in Mysterious Illness
Ticks are expanding their reach across the globe, thanks in part to changes in climate, land use, and increased contact between humans and animals.
In warm-temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere—especially the U.S., China, and parts of Europe—tick populations are thriving.
