Today we will be talking about the connection between the cute creatures known as chipmunks, and disease-carrying ticks.
A mild climate over the past few years has been hospitable for providing food and for mating. Chipmunk populations have boomed. They are out and about in big numbers.
And, here’s the thing, chipmunks are go-to source of sustenance – in the form of blood –for ticks. That means ticks latch on to chipmunks and go where chipmunks go. Ticks can carry disease … notably Lyme disease … which they can transmit to humans, pets, and livestock.
