My family are all from TN. Going back to the 1830's. I was raised in a nearby state and know all about that country living. Got tons of tick bites as a kid and have often wondered if that was the cause of my issues.

There are many new species of ticks invading my part of the state. The cases of tick borne illness is exploding in my area. My rheumatologist is certain that a tick bite caused my Fibro I went to bed fine one night and woke up screaming in pain the next morning.
Tick borne dieases don’t all show up in testing unfortunately
A local young boy about age 5 or so died a few months ago from a tick bite.
So unfortunately it’s becoming more of a problem.
