Ticks get the bacteria from mice. ticks have 3 stages of life. The middle stage is the nymphal stage and is the stage most responsible for lyme. as adults they prefer deer as hosts. Been bit twice by the deer tick. No rash I just found them scratching. I live in a heavy tick area. Lots of deer. Dog is covered with them constantly although most are regular ticks but disgusting none the less. Have already found some on dog even in this cold spring. P.
