Where is the lone star tick found?

ANSWER:

The lone star tick was first identified in the southern part of the United States. But when researchers looked further, they found that the lone star tick is in other parts of the United States, including the Northeastern US. The lone star tick seems to be more capable of moving more aggressively and moving in and biting someone, whereas the deer tick tends to hang around and wait for you to pass by. Then when you brush up against the blade of grass, it gets you.
