Across most regions in the U.S., tick bites are accounting for around 90 out of every 100,000 ER visits, the highest for this time of year in almost a decade.
To stop ticks from biting, the CDC recommends wearing insect repellent and treating clothing with the insecticide permethrin, which kills ticks.
Ticks can be small in the spring when they're first emerging, about the size of a poppy seed.
If you do find a tick on you, remove it as soon as possible.
The longer they feed, the more likely they are to transmit certain diseases like Lyme and Rocky Mountain spotted fever.
And if you get a rash or fever in the days and weeks after being in the woods or in other places that might have many ticks, go and seek medical care promptly.

This March, CDC staff published a paper on flu vaccine effectiveness in the agency's flagship weekly publication, and they plan to do the same for the COVID vaccine.
But Acting Director Dr. Jay Bhattacharya held the COVID paper for weeks.
Now, the planned publication has been canceled.
The stoppage was first reported in the Washington Post and confirmed by Andrew Nixon, a spokesman for the Department of Health and Human Services.
Nixon cited concerns about how the paper estimates vaccine effectiveness, even though the CDC's methodology has been the same for years.
