Ticks can consume a significant amount of blood relative to their size. Depending on the species and stage of development, a tick may ingest anywhere from a few microliters to several milliliters of blood during a feeding session, which can last from several hours to several days. For example, a fully engorged adult tick can swell to several times its original size after feeding. Despite this, ticks are efficient feeders and typically do not harm their hosts significantly during a single feeding.
