This tick is usually referred to as a deer tick but it can be found on numerous other animals. The illness is Lyme Disease, caused by a tick who is infected with the Borrelia burgdoreri bacteria. This paper explains causes, symptoms, transmission, statistical data on the states that have the most cases, treatment, and prevention. One section of the paper discusses Boise, ID in particular.
