Tick Threat: Health Impacts & Prevention

Ticks may be small, but they pose a serious threat to human and animal health. These blood-feeding parasites can transmit dangerous diseases, including Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever. Unlike other biting insects, ticks latch onto their hosts for extended periods, increasing the risk of disease transmission. Understanding their behavior and how to prevent exposure is key to protecting yourself, your family, and your pets.

Essential Tick Facts:

  • Global Presence: There are over 900 species of ticks worldwide, with about 90 species found in the United States.
  • Disease Carriers: Ticks are responsible for spreading Lyme disease, babesiosis, anaplasmosis, and other serious infections, making them one of the most dangerous parasitic pests.
  • Feeding & Attachment: Unlike mosquitoes that bite and leave, ticks embed their mouthparts into the skin and feed on blood for several days before dropping off.
  • Life Cycle: Ticks go through four stages—egg, larva, nymph, and adult—requiring a blood meal at each stage to grow and reproduce.
  • Reproduction & Resilience: Female ticks can lay thousands of eggs at once, and some species can survive extreme conditions for months without feeding.

Tick-Related Health Risks: What You Need to Know

Ticks are dangerous blood-feeding parasites capable of spreading serious diseases to humans and animals. Unlike other biting insects, ticks can remain attached for days, increasing the risk of infection and disease transmission. Understanding these threats is the first step toward effective prevention.

  • Tick-Borne Diseases: Ticks are major carriers of bacteria, viruses, and parasites, making them a leading cause of vector-borne illnesses.
  • Painful & Prolonged Bites: Unlike mosquitoes, ticks do not bite and leave quickly. Instead, they embed their mouthparts into the skin, feeding for several days. Their saliva contains anesthetics, making bites painless at first, which can delay detection and removal.
  • Resilient & Hard to Detect: Ticks thrive in wooded areas, tall grass, and on animals, making them difficult to detect until after they have already bitten. Their small size allows them to go unnoticed for hours or even days, increasing the risk of disease transmission.

By recognizing the health risks ticks pose, it becomes clear why preventative measures are crucial. Mosquito Shield can help with taking the steps to avoid tick exposure and remove them properly to help protect your family and pets from serious infections and diseases.
