#TickTalk: The most common ticks in New Jersey include: Black-Legged Ticks or Deer Ticks, Lone Star Ticks, and American Dog Ticks. They can transmit a number of diseases for both dogs AND people. So check yourself as well as your dog!

#TickTalk: Never remove ticks by burning them, trying to squish them, or putting things like nail polish on them. Never throw them in the trash as they may not be dead. Flushing them down the toilet or killing them with alcohol are the best ways to get rid of ticks.
