The Dangers of Ticks

Do you enjoy spending time outside in the autumn? While these warmer seasons are a great time for you and your family members to enjoy the outdoors, ticks will be there also, hiding in the foliage of your backyard and ready for a bite.

Why should you be concerned about ticks? Like mosquitoes, ticks are transmitters of disease. Tick-borne disease is extremely dangerous, because they affect tens of thousands of individuals throughout the United States every year. Unlike mosquitoes, ticks don’t grab a blood meal and go on their way. Ticks have beak-like projections that plunge into the skin of their host. Based on its type, a tick may feed on the host’s blood for hours, days, or even weeks. Tick-borne diseases include lyme disease, babesiosis, ehrlichiosis, rocky Mountain spotted fever, anaplasmosis, southern tick-associated rash illness, tick-borne relapsing the fever, and tularemia. Out of all arthropods, ticks spread the broadest array of disease-causing organisms.

Ticks are ectoparasites that reside on the blood of mammals, including humans. They do not just grab a blood meal from their host. Depending on its type, ticks can feed on their host’s blood for hours, days and even weeks. They grew bigger due to the amount of blood that they consumed.

For most individuals, an infestation of ticks in the garden causes anything from a mild annoyance to severe rashes and fevers with aches and pains.

On the other hand for extreme cases, they can aggravate the respiratory system causing the arrest and other kinds of life threatening shock reactions.

Since Australia is a subtropical country, the environmental condition is extremely much favourable for the ticks. There are 70 known species of ticks in Australia and two of it’s a huge concern: the Australian paralysis tick and the Tasmanian paralysis tick.

Your chances of disturbing the tick increase by scratching it or trying to remove it, frequently ensuing in the injection of toxic saliva. That is what can cause allergic reactions. In a few cases, these can be life-threatening, and can rarely cause paralysis and demise.
