Do ticks still jump on dogs when they've already been treated?
A tick might jump on the dog, even though the dog has been treated with a monthly Flea & tick preventative, but it will not stay on there as it will die in a few hours or sooner. A tick has to bite/suck the blood out of the dog for at least 12 hours before it can pass on the diseases it carries so the Preventative takes care of that, it kills the tick before it can pass anything on and then the tick just drops off.
Can ticks spread from person to person?
no ticks usely lives on plants and when you come nearby they go on your leg or arm and suck your blood(be carful the can also carry diseases) . Their bite is not painful at all so you wont realize that you were bitten. The can stay a few month if you don't get them out. And when they are done they would just jump off your leg and go on another plant where they will wait for a person or an animal to come.
A sack made of cloth with three one end left open for stuffing feathers or straw was called a tick. They were also called a feather tick if made with feathers and goose feathers were the most cherished. Usually the tick (sack) was made of tightly woven cloth such as canvas, broadcloth, or hemp and once the open end was sewn closed it became a cherished family mattress. These mattress were very valuable and remained in families for several generations, but of course when people used tick mattress their life span was much shorter than it is today.

Rather than go to the vet,buy a tick removal tool.They're easy to use & are provided with instructions.DONT try & burn the tick off with a cigarette end or alcohol.This will just make the tick vomit up blood & with that comes possible diseases.
