	Tick - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ticks are ectoparasites (external parasites), living by hematophagy on the blood of mammals, birds, and occasionally reptiles and amphibians.
		Ticks are blood-sucking parasites that are often found in tall grass, where they will rest themselves at the tip of a blade so as to attach themselves to a passing animal or human.
		The deer (or fl-legged) tick, and the related western fl-legged tick, are the primary known transmitters of Lyme disease in the United States.

	Tick - MSN Encarta
		Tick, common name for members of a group of large mitelike arachnids parasitic on mammals, birds, and reptiles.
		Ticks are found in most parts of the world but are generally limited to those habitats frequented by their hosts—namely, woods, tall grass, and shrubby vegetation—where they climb onto plants and wait to jump on a passing host.
		Ticks are actually a specialized group of mites and share many features with other mites.

	Tick Biology
		Ticks are blood feeding external parasites of mammals, birds, and reptiles throughout the world.
		Hard ticks seek hosts by an interesting behavior called "questing." Questing ticks crawl up the stems of grass or perch on the edges of leaves on the ground in a typical posture with the front legs extended, especially in response to a host passing by.
		Hard ticks are most commonly collected for research by the use of "flags" or "drags" which are made from 1 m square pieces of roughly textured fabric such as fleece or flannel attached to a rod handle.

	Ticks of California
		In California, this tick is frequently found in the warm, dry regions of the central valley down to the southern portion of the state.
		This tick is well known as a vector of the Rocky Mountain spotted fever rickettsia in the northwestern U.S. and Canada, the Colorado tick fever virus, and the bacteria which causes tularemia (hunter's disease).
		The Western fl legged tick is a three host tick that primarily feeds on lizards and small rodents during its subadult life stages, and large mammals, commonly deer, canids, horses, and humans, as adults.

	Tick Bites (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Tick bites occur most often during early spring to late summer and in areas where there are many wild animals and birds.
		Removing the body of the tick helps you avoid diseases the tick may pass on during feeding; removing the head helps prevent a skin infection at the site of the bite.
		Tick paralysis is a rare problem that may occur after a tick bite.

	Tick - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ticks are an important vector of a number of human and animal diseases.
		Ticks are often found in tall grass, where they will rest themselves at the tip of a blade so as to attach themselves to a passing animal or human.
		Ticks contain a structure in their mouth area that allows them to anchor themselves firmly in place while sucking blood.

	Ticks, HYG-2073-98
		Of the 12 species of ticks known to occur in Ohio, the most frequently encountered is the American dog tick, Dermacentor variabilis (Say).
		Ticks can be safely disposed of by placing them in a container of oil or alcohol, sticking them to tape, or flushing them in the toilet.
		The nymphal stage of the Black-legged tick is usually responsible for transmission of this bacterial disease to humans in the U.S. The nymph (in unfed condition) is about the size of a flat-pinhead and pale brown in color.

	Tick Alert
		Lyme disease (Lyme borreliosis) is caused by a bacterial infection spread by deer ticks.
		Ticks generally seek a blood meal at, or slightly above, ground level by climbing onto vegetation and using its forelegs to feel/grab for a host.
		Not all ticks are infected, and studies of infected deer ticks have shown that they begin transmitting Lyme disease an average of 36 to 48 hours after attachment.

	Tick Texas: Tick-borne Diseases
		People who remove ticks also can become infected if they crush ticks between their fingers, allowing the bacteria to penetrate the skin or come in contact with mucous membranes.
		It can be spread through a tick bite or through contact with blood or tissue from infected animals, especially wild rabbits, or by handling or eating undercooked meat from infected animals.
		Ticks are small and can be hard to see, and they can attach to any part of the body.

	Treatment and Prevention
		The relative cost-effectiveness of post-exposure treatment of tick bites to avoid Lyme disease in endemic areas (areas where the disease is known to occur regularly) is dependent on the probability of B. burgdorferi infection after a tick bite.
		The number of ticks in endemic residential areas may be reduced by removing leaf litter, brush- and wood-piles around houses and at the edges of yards, and by clearing trees and brush to admit more sunlight and reduce the amount of suitable habitat for deer, rodents, and ticks.
		Community-based interventions to reduce deer populations or to kill ticks on deer and rodents have not been extensively implemented, but may be effective in reducing the community-wide risk of Lyme disease.

	Ticks
		Ticks are the leading carriers of diseases to humans in the United States, second only to mosquitoes worldwide.
		It is not the tick bite but the toxins or organisms in the tick's saliva transmitted through the bite that cause disease.
		Ticks require a "blood meal" to grow and survive, and they are not very particular upon whom or what they feed.

		In the United States, seven kinds of hard ticks and five kinds of soft ticks carry diseases, are a nuisance, or cause paralysis.
