Tick information.

Me too. I'm wondering if they can latch onto birds.
yes, they latch onto birds.
but after they have had their meal they will drop off and molt before looking for you.

Indeed those illnesses do share similarities and yes I know ticks don't move from person to person
i find their life cycle fascinating, and that they evolved to live on blood.

There is no official or exact global death toll for tick bites, but experts attribute several thousand deaths annually to severe tick-borne illnesses worldwide. Out of the more than 700,000 annual global deaths caused by all vector-borne diseases (including mosquitoes and ticks), tick-related fatalities make up a relatively small fraction.

Lyme disease is the most common tick-borne illness globally. Conservative worldwide estimates place incidence at over 700,000 to 1,000,000+ cases annually. Cases are highly concentrated across the Northern Hemisphere, spanning North America, Europe, and parts of Asia.

My brother-in-law * has Lyme disease- and it's something I want to avoid! I keep a can of bug spray by our door so I don't forget .
*He's 88 years old so he is really feeling the impact of the illness.

@LikeItOrLumpIt ...or they just walk onto ya in bed, cause you didn't see them on your black cat's fur.
(on my black&white cat I always spot them while they cross a white patch, pick them off and EXTERMINATE)@nachtet @LikeItOrLumpIt with fire!
Not down the drain, where it will happily latch on the next rat.

Tick information. #LymeDiseaseAwarenessMonth
@LikeItOrLumpIt This looks like AI generated?
Deet and picaridin don't "block the heat signature". They literally kill the ticks and repell them.

@atax1a @LikeItOrLumpIt @corbden So I'm not the only one whose spidey sense got triggered by the Ai shit, huh? Good.
This is slop. There are plenty of non-Ai tick infographics. Use those.
@Legit_Spaghetti @atax1a @LikeItOrLumpIt @corbden yup, it's come round before
the Käseglanzasthetik is distinctive

Incorrect. Sure, ticks don't fly, but they do climb, also trees. The one in your neck fell on you from the branch you brushed.

@larsmb @LikeItOrLumpIt could indeed be Al generated, sigh. But the myth that ticks fall from trees still seems to persist, that's why I found it worth sharing.
