All About Ticks publishes educational content about ticks, tick-borne diseases, prevention, identification, and removal. Our goal is to provide practical, understandable guidance supported by reputable sources.
Sourcing standards
- Prefer primary/authoritative sources: public health agencies, professional organizations, and peer-reviewed research when available.
- Link to sources near claims: especially for statistics, risk statements, and clinical recommendations.
- Be careful with certainty: where evidence varies by region or evolves over time, we describe limits and uncertainty.
What we publish (and what we don’t)
- We publish: prevention checklists, identification guidance, removal technique, and summaries of established medical guidance.
- We don’t: provide individual medical diagnosis or personalized treatment plans.
Updates and maintenance
We aim to update important pages when guidance changes, new surveillance data is published, or a reader reports a credible issue. Where possible, we will add “Last updated” information on pages as our editorial system matures.
AI usage
We may use software tools to assist with drafting and editing. Regardless of tooling, the editorial responsibility remains with the site owner and/or designated editors, and content should be supported by reputable sources.
