The Dangers of Ticks

Enjoying nature and spending time during fall? While those warmer seasons are a good time for you and your own family members to savour some fresh air outdoors, ticks might be there also, hiding in the foliage of your garden and are geared up for a bite.

In fact, ticks belong to the arachnid family, therefore, they are associated with spiders and other eight-legged creepy crawlers. They’re a pretty interesting pest too. When they feed on blood, they have anti-clotting agent mixed with their saliva that prevents the blood from coagulating. If you notice, if you squeeze a tick, you will notice the freshness of blood coming out from it.

Ticks have beak-like mouths that dive into the skin of the host. A tick may benefit from the host’s blood for quite a long time, days, or even weeks. Tick-borne diseases include lyme disease, babesiosis, ehrlichiosis, rocky mountain spotted fever, anaplasmosis, southern tick-associated rash illness, tick-borne relapsing fever, and tularemia. Among all arthropods, ticks spread the greatest cluster of disease-causing organisms.

For most people, an infestation of ticks from the garden causes anything from a mild irritation to severe rashes and fevers with aches and pains.

On the other hand for extreme cases, they can aggravate the respiratory system causing the arrest and other forms of life-threatening shock reactions.

Because Australia is a subtropical country, the environmental condition is very much beneficial for the ticks. There are 70 known species of ticks in Australia and two of it is a huge concern: the Australian paralysis tick and the Tasmanian paralysis tick.
