Ticks are common parasites that are found all across the state. There are around 800 to 900 species of ticks in the world, but only a few live in North Carolina. The American dog tick is the state's largest in size. The black-legged tick and lone star tick are also found here. They are health threats that can cause skin irritations and diseases like Rocky Mountain spotted fever and lyme disease.

Abstract:
In the 1920s, the State sponsored a tick-eradication program. The program required farmers to run their cattle through a narrow concrete vat, completely submerging the animals in a tick-killing solution. During this time of controversial laws regarding animals, Duplin County considered building a wall around the entire county so that it would not have to pen all of its animals.
