Ticks and Mites

tick birds eat the ticks on a rhino. the relationship is positive for both the rhino and the tick bird because they both get what they want.

well most people hate flys because they will bite you if you dont use insect repellant. they also like dung and poop and go on it and then land on your food which may make you lose appetite they also bother you by flying in circles around you. n flies iz sssssoooooooooo nasty when they land on u they puke on u er they lay eggzzzz on u soooooo peace pplz.............

Ticks vary in size depending on their species, sex, life stage, and whether they have fed. It is usually a species of hard tick that bites people and pet animals, . When they first hatch into larvae, they are tiny (around 0.5mm), the size of a full stop. Their next life phase is the nymphal stage, which is slightly bigger at approximately 1.5mm. The largest size of unfed tick is the adult female, at approximately 3mm. The male is slightly smaller at around 2.5mm. Once fed, the tick becomes swollen to many times its original size. A fully-fed adult female is about the size of a small coffee bean.

No. They are a type of mite, named because they resemble tiny spiders.

Yes, they can.

It depends on what breed and where the wolf is found. If the wolf is one in the more northern areas of the world, then NO, they won't have flees. However, if they are in the warmer climates ((like red wolves)) there WILL be flees on the critter.

You can eat sponge and you can digest it because after a couple minutes of chewing it, it deteriorates in your mouth and then you can swallow it. If you are eating sponge, you have a disorder called Pica. It occurs mostly with people who have anemia (iron deficiency). As for the side effects of eating sponge, it may become harmful after a while.

I don't know if it kills them, but it will get one to let go of you.

At which point you are free to spare its life if you wish....

There are many clinical signs of Lyme disease in dogs, including fever, swollen lypmh nodes, lameness, and anorexia (not eating). Long-term sequelae include inflammation of the heart, inflammatory joint disease, kidney disease and sometimes neurological disease.

Ticks have eight walking legs. The body plan is very close to that of a typical spider.

Taking a tick out can be tricky. In order for you get a tick out safely use a pair of tweezers.

They don't cause much problems but if you do get them. You won't even notice. Maybe a bunch of red spots in certain area where they burrow in but they should die pretty quickly.

Sorry, but your answer is dead wrong. We are currently suffering from a bird mite infestation in our home. They are attacking my husband mercilessly. We've had an exterminator come out several times (a special chemical mix must be used), but they're not gone yet. Their bites hurt! Showering frequently and using a loofah and epsom salt are recommended, as well as spraying yourself and your clothing with Arrid XDry deodorant. Vacuum and change bedding daily. Use a lint roller to remove them from your body. This is serious; they are very hard to get rid of and make your life a living hell!!!

Bird mites can and will complete the life cycle on a human.

they have the ability to change inviorment as well as hosts they can live up to 6months with no host becoming active when they sense a host present. Usually they dont bother people but an abandoned nest Mice, Rats, birds will have several hundred thousand mites left behind. I am not an expert nor an etomoligst but I know what doesent work Permithren anything from your local Home depot, methane gas, chlorine Gas, malthion will work If you have a small yard.

My problem started 2yrs ago and 15,000 out of pocket unliveable home and still going

I don't know if there is a thing called a "tick bird" or not, but the bird that rides

on a rhino, and eats parasites off of it's hide,

is a part of a symbiotic relationship for sure:

The bird gets food.

The rhino loses annoying parasites.

Both animals are in symbiosis. (mutually benefiting)

The bird eats the ticks off the rhino's back and warns the rhino of any danger (mutualism). The bird also eats the blood from sores on the rhino's skin and it prevents them from healing (parasitism).

no because they hate hair and clean but they love dirty and they love fur instead of hair

If your cat is bitten by a tick it could be fatal, ticks can live up to several years attached to your cat feeding on its blood (ew, too gory!) and you may not even notice them until they have fed on your cat so much that they become engorged (meaning filled to excess with blood). Ticks can also pass on diseases to your cat that can cause serious health issues and they could also pass on diseases to you and your family. Frontline will deal with the ticks on your cat and is over 99% certain that they will be killed within 8 hours of treatment.

Bleach won't only kill ticks, it will also kill the dog!

NEVER put bleach or any other chemical on a dog!

Would you put bleach on your child? Of course not! If it says Keep away from children, keep it away from your pets!

Ask your veterinarian for a shampoo that is designed to kill ticks and lice. Also, you should contact an exterminator if lice, ticks, or fleas are present! All three parasites can cause illnesses like Plague!

If your dog has an ear infection, they may be leaning their head to one side, scratching at that particular ear, or be acting abnormally. Check to see if the ear is red or inflammed, and most importantly, take your dog to the veterinarian. They usually lay in bed or they keep scratching at their ear.

A disease called Lyme Disease can be transmitted by tick bites.

This disease is more likely to take place late spring and summer when ticks are most active

After many bites, a circular rash will develop. Because the tick is so small, many people are not aware they have been bitten. Other symptoms: fatigue, headache, fever, muscle aches, joint pain and swollen lymph nodes.

Liking black people

Yes! It does. I discovered this by accident actually. As an alternative to Windex, we have been using vinegar cleaner in a spray bottle... and one day I was buzzed by a pesky housefly, and after spraying it with one mist... it dropped... took 3 steps and died. I was puzzled by this... until I started to spray any housefly I see with vinegar cleaner for the past 5 years... same result.. they walk about 3-5 steps... buzz a little, and die instantly. There must be something chemically going on within the fly with vinegar, but YES, it's a great non-toxic, clean way of instantly killing a housefly.

== == Some of my cats get ticks. I usually find them on my long-haired gray cat before they attach themselves to the cat. I have never seen them on my short-haired gray cat though. I've wondered about that. I suppose it's possible that some cats have less of an attraction to ticks than others. It is probably some difference in their blood--don't you think? The ticks love my two long-haired cats, while they seem to have less interest in my two short-haired cats. That is not true with the fleas! The fleas love them all equally well!

---- Cats, as a general rule, who live indoors whether long haired or short do not get ticks. That is not because of physiology, it is simply because of the lack of ticks in most homes! Now as to cats who live outdoors or go outdoors. Short haired cats such as the bengal, almost never get ticks. This is because of the fact ticks prefer to bury themselves which they are unable to do with short haired cats. It is also due to the fact that all breeds of cats are extreme cleaners and lick themselves constantly. As soon as a tick begins to move, the cat will be drawn to the movement and will either eat the tick or chew it drop it. If a tick was able to latch, the short haired cats will within a short time remove it, hence the fact ticks are seldom seen are a short haired cat. Long haired cats on the other hand struggle with the same tick issues as dogs. Due to the length and thickness of their hair, they are sometimes unable to locate or feel the tick and it will latch. But at the same time, these cats will not suffer from excessive ticks due to their constant cleaning. It is seldom to find a tick on any cat on easily reached areas such as the stomach, back, rectum, genetalia, etc as they will despose of the tick the moment they locate it. Regardless of what type of animal you have or breed, it is the humane and safe practice to keep your animal on a anti flea and tick medication. Ticks and fleas are not only uncomfortable to your animal, they can also cause illness or even death. Fleas are the leading cause of heartworms and ticks can carry multiple diseases that can cause permanent injury to your animal or even death! Consult with your local vet as to what is the best anti flea and tick regiment for your animal!!

Yes a tick can be green I had a green one and when it comes off you should take off leftover legs

A scientist who studies fleas (or insects in general) is a zoologist who is specifically an entomologist.
