Yes, not every tick carries Lyme so don't freak out if one bites you just carefully remove it with tweezers sooner the better. Any tick could have it but mostly want to watch out for deer and dog ticks.

Yes, ticks that carry lymes disease can be found in every state.

yes you should use a bug spray when you can and check yourself after being outside to see if you have one and remember a bulls eye mark around a bite is a sign of Lyme disease
