Increasing deer populations also increase the occurrences of Lyme disease. As many know, Lyme disease is transferred to humans and/or pets by deer ticks. A baby tick's first "meal" is often a rabbit or some other small mammal. Once the tick grows bigger, it moves on to deer. The more deer there are, the more opportunities ticks have to feed.  Thus, with more deer, we end up with more ticks in general.  And more ticks equals more cases of Lyme disease.            Deer and Ticks?     Foods Deer Like To Eat     Foods Deer Do Not Like
