They're located in other parts of the country. However, with as much traveling as everybody does, with pets and other animals coming from other states into Colorado for rescues or for other reasons, these ticks can hitchhike to Colorado,” said Michelle Eason-Delhougne with Amerian Family Care. “We may see that as the local conditions change, the climate changes, these ticks may start finding a home in Colorado."
