Ticks are tiny parasites that attach themselves to various animals, such as birds, reptiles, and mammals, which includes us humans. They bite and feed on our blood, with some species finding multiple hosts in their lifetime, while others needing only one. Female ticks that have fed and mated then lay their eggs, beginning the cycle anew.
Due to their contact with the bodily fluids of various hosts, ticks are vectors for some deadly transmissible diseases, including Lyme disease, babesiosis and anaplasmosis. Tick bites themselves cause irritation and redness of the skin, but some species, such as the Australian paralysis tick, have venom that has adverse effects on humans. Overall, ticks are a very problematic pest for humans and any pets we may have.
Ticks live in areas with lots of vegetation; sometimes, simply taking a stroll in such places is enough to bring home a tick inadvertently. It’s also possible for a tick host, be it human or animal, to transfer ticks to you by being in close proximity. Due to their tiny size, it’s incredibly difficult to notice ticks climbing onto you.
Ticks tend to lay their eggs on pathways where animals will pass by, so that the hatched nymphs have potential hosts. But while most ticks can only lay their eggs outdoors, the brown dog tick is known to be able to lay eggs in our homes, which creates a potential infestation indoors.
