The main danger is LYME disease along with blood poisoning.They can also cause paralysis in dogs & if any animal gets too infested by ticks it can weaken its immune system.
When removing ticks DO NOT cover with greas/vaseline or surgical spirit.This can make the tick regurgitate blood back into hosts body, introducing infection etc.The head of the tick musy be grasped as close to skin as possible and eased out.Its important not to leave any mouth parts in the wound as this can lead to infection etc.
