How To Avoid Ticks In Albuquerque, NM

Although ticks may be active all year long in New Mexico, typically spring marks the beginning of tick season. That means if you have plans to hike or explore in the Land of Enchantment or you’re ready to enjoy your own backyard, you’ll want to proceed with caution and keep an eye out for ticks.

Types of ticks in New Mexico

While there are several species of ticks in New Mexico, the ones that residents are more likely to see are:

  • Blacklegged ticks (more commonly known as deer ticks)
  • Brown dog ticks
  • Lone Star ticks

Tickborne diseases in New Mexico

Lyme disease is perhaps the most notorious and feared tickborne disease in the U.S. and unfortunately infected deer ticks in New Mexico can spread it to people and pets.

Lone Star ticks have been linked to Tularemia and ehrlichiosis.

According to the CDC, brown dog ticks are capable of transmitting Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF).

How to avoid ticks when you're on the go

When spending time outdoors in areas where ticks are likely to be found, we highly recommend wearing long-sleeved shirts and pants. Keep in mind ticks will climb up your body looking for exposed skin in order to take a blood meal. After each excursion, you should inspect yourself, your children, and any pets that have been with you for ticks.
