Where do ticks that transmit lyme live?
Ticks that transmit Lyme disease are commonly found in wooded or grassy areas, particularly in regions with high humidity and dense vegetation. They tend to thrive in environments that provide them with suitable hosts, such as deer or mice, and are often found in leaf litter, tall grasses, and bushes where they can attach themselves to passing hosts.
No, they are opportunistic feeders taking advantage of the dead skin cells we and our pets shed daily that accumulates in household dust. In effect they are actually helping to cleanup after us.
Do all deer ticks carry Lyme's disease?
No. Some brown deer ticks do carry the spirochete that causes Lyme disease. Lyme disease is a multi-system bacterial infection caused by the spirochete, Borrelia burgdorferi. The spirochete is transmitted from one animal to another through the bite of the infective tick.
Which cell is visible with naked eye?
Any substance such as an mixture, colloid, suspension, solution, and all non-microscopic matters in our ecosystem are visible to the naked eyes.
About 100 micron or so, a tenth of a millimetre. Sometime a little larger (especially females) perhaps up to 300 microns. They are just about visible to the naked eye, but it depends on the background. You'll almost never see one on a bed for example, but I have seen them (1000s) crawl across the bench in the lab, when they escaped from breeding jars...
A tick feeding on a human is an example of?
ant or bugs or any other organisms that are small or the bacteria that are hard to see...
There is no such species such as a "sea tick". There is what people have nicknamed a "Seed tick". Although it is not a pecies but instead a stage the tick goes through. Here are the three stages.
# Larvae - "seed ticks" # Nymphs (After Molting)
# Adults Tick So the answer to the question is a SEED Tick is a baby tick freshly hatched.
They are about the size of the dot that is left after you put a period on a piece of paper with a normal size pencil. So the answer to the question is a SEED Tick is a baby tick freshly hatched.

You defidently don't want to eat ticks. Ticks make you sick by putting blood of a sick animal in your blood stream. If you eat one, you are at a risk of getting sick from the bloog stored in their bodies.
What element keeps ticks away?
One element that can help keep ticks away is cedar oil. Cedar oil contains compounds that are repellant to ticks, making it a natural alternative to synthetic insecticides. It can be applied to skin, clothing, or outdoor areas to help deter ticks.
Are there bugs in Spanish Moss?
Yes. The following excerpt is from an article on the School of Forest Resources & Conservation at UF website.
Many animals use Spanish moss for protection, taking cover in thick masses of pendent strands. Many insects and other invertebrates hide in moss masses, making it an unlikely choice for bedding by campers. The prevalence of "red bugs" or chiggers in the plant is legendary. Spiders, thrips, and dozens of other insects hide in the moss as well. This abundance of invertebrates may or may not be the reason that at least two species of bats also use festoons of Spanish moss for cover. Both red bats and pipistrelles use masses of Spanish moss as day-time resting sites.
It's somewhat common knowledge, "not to use moss as a toy".
House Dust Mites Dermatophagoides pteronyssinusand D. farinae are the most common species of house dust mites in North Carolina . These tiny mites are most abundant in warm, humid areas. Contrary to popular belief, house dust mites do not bite or sting. They feed on shed human skin scales that collect in the dust on furniture, particularly mattresses, and on carpeting below beds. House dust mites are important medically because they produce allergens in their secretions and excrement. Inhaling airborne house dust containing mite feces and cast skins is a common cause of asthma in young children. Products containing benzoyl benzoate and other ingredients are often used for severe infestations of house dust mites. However, the long-term solution to reducing a house dust mite problem is sanitation and environmental modifications: * Vacuum (possibly with a HEPA-filtered vacuum cleaner) frequently and thoroughly to remove mites and the organic debris on which they feed. Target critical areas, such as: * ** mattresses and bed frames ** rugs and carpets (especially under beds) ** overstuffed furniture (and the area underneath) * Change air conditioner filters frequently and maintain low (less than 50%) humidity indoors to reduce conditions favorable to dust mites. * Encase mattresses and pillows in plastic covers and change bed linen frequently to help prevent mite populations from building up
What is the scientific name of dust mite?
The scientific name of dust mite is Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus.
What is the kingdom phylum class order family genus and species of a monkey?
Completely depends exactly which monkey you mean, but the generalised answer (they're the same for all monkeys) is:
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata
Subphylum: Vertebrata
Class: Mammalia
Order: Primates
Suborder: Haplorrhini
If you know the specific type of monkey, you should be able to find the family, genus and species.
Animal - Monkey
Domain - Eukarya
Kingdom - Animalia
Phylum - Chordata
Class - Mammalia
Order - Primates
I'm not sure about the family, genus, or species. I think that depends on the type of monkey.
Hope this helps! :)
Perhaps you mean Varroa Mite? It's a tiny insect that lives parasitically on honey bees. In countries where the Varroa Mite is not indigenous, the honey bees have not natural resistance, and if the mite does get loose it can devastate the honey bee population.
Sources of dust are many. Some dust is dried skin from the occupants. Dust from outside floats in through all sorts of gaps in the house. Dirt from outside is tracked in. Gas heaters and waterheaters and stoves cause carbon dust. Cooking can create dust. Clothes carry and create lint. Small creaters, dust mites, spiders and other crawlers can be a source. If there are filters in your furnace/air conditioner, you may need to change it. Getting vents cleaned can also help. Dusting used to be considered a daily chore, because it is necessary. You can see the dust very well in the sunlight.Try to only view it in the evening.
some times your cleaning methods don't really pick any dust up, you just have it floating in the air by wiping it and when this dust settles, more dust has joined it. == == == == == ==
How do you get rid of mite off a dog?
First of all you need to make sure you are diagnosing this correctly. You need to take your dog in to be checked out by a Veterinarian. Scabies is technically Sarcoptic Mange caused by a mite. There is another mite that does lots of damage to the dog's skin also & that is called Demodex Mange caused by a mite. A Vet must be the one to diagnose this by doing skin scrapings, then putting them under a microscope to look for mites & if there are mites, to see which one it is. Don't try to treat skin problems like this yourself, no way you can diagnose it correctly. Do your dog a favor and take him or her to be examined by your Veterinarian.

What does a tick look like on a dog after it has buried itself under their skin?
If you can't feel the tick, just a lump, surgery time!
How can you tell if a turtle has ticks?
Yes, ticks are the most common type of external parasite in the turtle family. See the related link below for more information.
Scales [Coccoidea family] are small insects that mainly survive by parasitically feeding off of a plant's life sustaining sap. But there are some scale insects that specialize in fungal food sources.
Mites [Acarina subclass, Arachnida class] are even smaller than scale insects. In fact, many of them only can be seen with a microscope or magnifying glass. They too are parasitic feeders. Depending upon the mite, the food source may be plant, mold or animal. Despite the generally destructive tendencies of mites, some actually are considered beneficial insects. Specifically, predatory mites eat other mites.
Aphids [Aphidoidea superfamily] tend to be green. But different aphids may be black, brown or pink. They're considered among the most destructive pests of edible plants. One reason lies in their tendency to make the plant sick with viruses at the same time that it takes away the sap that could help the plant fight the sickness. Many of them tend to focus on one kind of plant as a food source. But the green peach aphid [Myzus persicae] isn't picky, and basically considers any plant as a food source.
Does drinking about a cap full of vinegar repel ticks from biting?
A cap full of vinegar would have almost no effect on blood composition as the amount of acid would immediately be neutralized by the buffers in the stomach. So if the blood doesn't change then the ticks not be affected either.
Is a white headed tick dangerous?
No they shouldn't be but if you start getting sick you should go to a doctor and remember always keep the tick.
