Ticks are tiny blood-feeding parasites that latch onto animals and humans. They hide in tall grass, woods, and brush, then attach when you brush past. While feeding, some ticks can transmit diseases like Lyme disease, making them more than just a nuisance.
Quick facts:
• 🕷️ Not insects—ticks are arachnids (related to spiders)
• 🩸 Feed on blood and can stay attached for days
• 🌲 Common in wooded, grassy areas
• 🧬 Can carry bacteria, viruses, and parasites
Prevention tips: wear long sleeves, use insect repellent, do tick checks after being outdoors, and remove ticks promptly with fine-tipped tweezers.
