As the weather gets warmer, tick season gets nearer.
Dr. Jeff Swartz with Mercy Health says ticks are a concern because if they bite you, they can pass on any number of diseases.
So where should you look for a tick on your body, considering they can be the size of a poppy seed?
"People always think about the hair first," Swartz said, "but it can get on your body in the areas that are warm, and moist as well."
Swartz says your pets are at risk as well, especially if they spend a lot of time outdoors because not only can they get sick, but there can also be a transmission to humans.
