What Ticks Are

Ticks are not insects at all, but small Arachnids.  Deer ticks are among the smallest of ticks.

Members of the same class as mites, spiders, and scorpions, ticks are divided into two groups; hard bodied ticks and soft bodied ticks.  Both types can transmit
diseases...some of which can be fatal.

How Ticks Feed:

 

  • Ticks are parasites

  • Ticks feed by latching onto a human or animal "host", imbedding their mouths into their host's skin, and then sucking the host's blood. 

  • Ticks' feeding method makes ticks perfect
    vectors for transmitting diseases. 

  • Ticks are responsible for transmitting at least
    ten known diseases in humans in the U.S.. 
    Some can be fatal or permanently disabling. 

  • Among diseases tick carry are: Lyme Disease, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, babesiosis, anaplasmosis and ehrlichiosis.
