What ticks are common in Maine and how worried should I be?

[RustyPine17]

I just moved to the area and I'm hearing a lot about ticks. Can anyone help me understand which ones are common here and what I should be concerned about?

When you're out hiking or doing stuff outdoors, it's a good idea to wear some long sleeves and tuck your pants into your socks. It might feel a little silly, but trust me, it can really help keep those ticks at bay. And don't forget to take a shower afterward, it's a great way to wash off any ticks before they get a chance to bite.
