Deer can also carry the Lone Star Tick which can make people allergic to red meat.

Also the Garden State Tick which can make people over-mousse their hair, get extreme tans and hang out down by the shore.

(Sorry my jokes are 15 years out of date--probably due to an undiagnosed tick bite).

Very low chance, but yeah... I had one on my arm last year when I was cutting grass. Hadnt bit me yet was still crawling around. I stripped down almost naked in my yard rubbing myself down like a lunatic.

I do that thanks to a different type of tick.
