What are Ticks?
Ticks are parasitic bugs that attach to your skin and feed on your blood. Ticks adhere to you by making a wound on your skin and inserting a feeding tube into it. Ticks may cling to you for a lengthy amount of time if they latch on. These parasites can stay on your skin for up to two weeks. When the tick is full, it will naturally fall off your skin. Ticks are harmful pests because they may transmit deadly illnesses to people. The symptoms of these disorders can range from minor (irritated skin) to severe (high fever and edema).
Types of Ticks
There are approximately 850 different tick species around the world
Risks Associated with Ticks
Disease Carriers
Diseases known to be transmitted by ticks include Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, Colorado tick fever, and babesiosis to name a few.
Lyme Disease Carriers
If left untreated, Lyme disease may spread throughout the body, and victims may experience lesions, Bell’s palsy, irregular heartbeat, and more.
Potential Harm to Pets
Dogs and cats can get Lyme disease, and they can also carry infected ticks into homes or yards, where they can then bite humans.
