A good article in today's CNN (5-26-18) about one woman's experience with a bacterial infection caused by a tick bite.
For those who want additional information, there are also some good hyperlinks in the article.

Ticks and mosquitoes... why did nature do this to us?
Also the common cold, herpes, sciescence, tendonitis, my good looks . . . I don't think there is a why, I think it/he/she/they just doesn't/don't care.
But hey, a conspiracy theory would be fun. :-?

What ma nature does to you isn't near as bad as what most people do to themselves. Just walkthrough a Walmart. Perspective.
But more seriously
As good as the Earth is at generating life,
It's even better at destroying it
99.9% of species that ever existed.......became extinct.
We have had to have ticks surgically removed from our dog due to our not checking frequently... Oh. .. so sad! Please, check your dog!
