It's common for snowshoe hares to be loaded with ticks on their ears in Spring, and I believe that most or all of them are specific to the hares and pose no threat to other mammals, and do not carry any significant diseases? I stand to be corrected on this, by Andrew Hebda, or Jeff Ogden, or anyone else?? The hare tick is another species of the list of about 10? or a bit more species known for Nova Scotia?

Lots of snowshoe hares. One had between 30 and 40 ticks on its ears. The ears looked pretty ragged as a result. James R. Hirtle Dublin Shore
