Geiger is committed to making a difference in communities where we live and work and do business. This commitment was emphasized during the opening ceremony at our new Maine facility (April 1955) when Ray Geiger proudly announced that Geiger would be leaders in giving to the community. This has become part of our heritage and is the legacy we leave behind.
Ticks don't jump, fly, or drop from trees onto your head and back. If you find one attached there, it most likely latched onto your foot or leg and crawled up over your entire body. Ticks are programmed to try and attach around your head or ears.
Ticks in forested areas of the U.S. often host Lyme disease. Photo Credit forest image by DOLPHIN from Fotolia.com. Lyme disease infects people through the bite of a small tick, though the actual organism that causes the disease is a bacteria named borrelia burgdorferi. These bacteria and the ticks who carry them are most often found in forested areas of the Northeast, Pacific Northwest and Midwest.
