they suck it up
^^^To improve on the above answer. Ticks bite into the host animal. Their saliva contains a mild antiseptic - which stops the host animal noticing the parasites bite. The tick then draws blood from the host animal by way of a long, tube-like structure. Once the tick is full, it drops off the host to digest its meal, then finds another host.

What animals usually host infected ticks?
deer
You don't specify the infection, so I will use Lyme Disease as an example. The nymph/baby tick goes for a small host. Prior to feeding, the nymph tick is not infected with anything. If the nymph deer tick feeds on a deer mouse, which are the carriers of Lyme disease, they become infected. If the nymph tick feeds on an animal, like a lizard, that isn't infected, the tick won't be infected. The progression is usually, deer mouse then larger host, such as deer, human, dog or other larger mammal.
What can you do to get rid of mites?
You don't. Demodex, or 'eyelash mites', and humans live in a symbiotic relatioship. The mites eat the excess waste that accumulates around the hair follicle, the oil, the dead skin. Deomdex's digestive system is so efficent that they create no waste, so the mite leaves nothing behind, just cleans. If you feel that your 'infestation' of demodex is beyond what it should be, please see your dermatologist for further help.

I don't see why not. If a cow is grazing or living in a grassy area where ticks may be, I don't see why they CAN'T get ticks. All animals get ticks.
Are there any natural ways to kill lawn ticks?
Get some nematodes, s. felitae are the ones you want. I've heard you can find them at garden centers, but I've had no luck so far. It's easier to find them online. http://www.arbico-organics.com/1220310.html I'm gonna try a mixture of garlic powder and cinnamon. Fleas and tick hate garlic powder and ants hate cinnamon. I'll let you know how it goes. Take care and good luck! Thanks for looking for natural options!
