The Dangers of Ticks

In fact, ticks belong to the arachnid family, hence, they are correlated with spiders and other eight-legged creepy crawlers. They are a pretty interesting pest too. When they feed on blood, they have anti-clotting agent mixed with their saliva that prevents the blood from coagulating. If you notice, if you squeeze a tick, you will notice that the freshness of blood coming out from it.

Ticks are ectoparasites that reside on the blood of mammals, including humans.

For most people, getting connected with ticks can cause mild irritation to severe rashes and fevers accompanied by aches and pains.

Depending on the type of species, ticks can feed on their host’s blood for hours, days and even weeks. They also grew bigger because of the amount of blood that they consumed. They are voracious blood drinkers for they want huge blood meals in each stage of their growth.

Actually, there are 70 known species of ticks in Australia.
