*** A tick will embed its head into the skin of the host (dog or cat), the body of the tick remains on the outside so it is visible to the naked eye. The skin remains to feel normal.

yes there are mostly in the woods

Yes, birds eat plant mites. Small birds join ants, fish, frogs, ground beetles, harvestmen, lacewings, ladybugs, lizards, salamanders, spiders, thrips and toads as important natural enemies of mites. Arachnids such as mites represent a moist, nutrient-rich source of protein for birds.

Yes, hookworms are able to penetrate intact skin and that is actually the main way for a person to become infected. Hookworms usually infect a person who has been walking barefoot in contaminated soil. Most people who are infected show no symptoms and do not even know that they have the parasite. If a person does show adverse symptoms, and it is due to hookworm, there is medicine to treat the infected person.

if you want to get a tick of don't kill it when its on you ! after you get it of kill it and check for any left behind legs in your skin .

If a ticks body is pulled off, and nothing but the head remains, then the tick is dead and therefor cannot heal or regenerate any part of it's body. Hard ticks (if still alive, of course) are able to regenerate sensory organs and limbs. It's necessary for the head of a tick to be removed from the hosts body (particularly if the host is a person), because it's very possible to cause Lime Disease, or other numerous diseases. That whole "ticks are able to go into your heart, regenerate it's body, and eat you from the inside out" thing is an untrue myth.

No, a tick does not have a backbone and is not considered a vertebrate.

You can, but you might want to check with a garden store before you do because you can cause problems by mixing certain chemicals. They might have something already made for that purpose. "Agent Orange" was basically just a mix of two kinds of weed and woody plant killers.

Ticks engage in "questing" where they hold on to leaves or grass with their back legs and extend their front legs into the air. They grab onto the first animal/human/dog that walks by.

No. However, while some say it will attempt to find a new host, or regrow its necessary organs, others say it becomes dead, because it has already lost its necessary organs to survive.

A walking clock!

answer: Ticks come from wooded areas, more specifically from trees, grasses & bushes.

Yes, if the mite is a scabie mite it can be passed to humans, and other dogs.

Green pus indicates an infection. It's possible your puppy has Conjunctivitis, or another eye infection. Your puppy should be examined by a veterinarian, and probably requires medication to clear up the infection.

Conjunctivitis is easily treated, but it's important to diagnose and treat conjunctivitis in quickly, to avoid serious risks such as visual impairment. If left untreated, the infection that caused conjunctivitis slowly spreads to other parts of the eyes damaging the puppy's eyesight.

Sarcoptic mange is a highly contagious parasitic disease caused by a microscopic mite called Sarcoptes scabiei that affects animals and people. These mites invade the skin of healthy cats and kittens and create a variety of skin problems. Humans exposed to infested cats commonly are affected.

they suck blood by getting onto a humans blood and sticking there antlers into a humans scalp so it wont be hard to be whip away.then they just suck the blood until they get full.and they also leave a bite mark on a human or anytype of animals skin

Dust is mainly discarded human skin scales and other debris. Dust mites are very tiny spider type scavengers that recycle dust particles into editable food. They recycle so well that they can actually continue to eat what other dust mites have expelled.
