What are the different types of ticks?

The species of ticks existing in nature are numerous. Scientists have more than 20 thousand of them. And only a small part can be attributed to potentially dangerous for human life and animals. About a quarter of them are peddlers of diseases.

Ticks are found everywhere: in fields, forests, in the seas, oceans and marshes. Even wet bedding and carpeting in the house can be a breeding ground for these insects.

A reasonable question arises: "What kind of mites are, and what are they dangerous?" Ixodid mites are the most unpleasant representatives of this class. Meeting with this species is quite dangerous for humans and animals. Their bite can be accompanied by such diseases as brain inflammation, fever, typhus. There are ixodid mites in the forests of Siberia and Europe. Some species live in the Crimea, Turkey. Field varieties of ticks ixodids lie in wait for man in meadows and other places covered with grass. For domestic pets, the brownest tick is most dangerous. It occurs in wet coastal strips. This parasite digs into the skin of the dog and is the causative agent of babesiosis. In rare cases, brown mites attacked people.

Armor pliers are inhabitants of forest litter and moist soil. The most common kind. They affect the digestive system of animals eating larvae and grass, infected with ticks.

Another "unpleasant neighbors" - barn mites. These small arthropods live in croup, flour, bulbs of plants and wood bark. If the mite gets into the body, you can get poisoning the digestive system, accompanied by red eyes, allergies and even an asthma attack.

Scabies mite - pathogen of scabies. Representatives of this species gnaw out quite long passages on the skin and lay eggs there, which is the cause of severe itching and inflammation.

Varied varieties of ticks are found throughout the life path of man. In water reservoirs await water mites, the encounter with which is very unpleasant, and the gas mites kill any poultry. Krasnotelkovye pliers are quite small, and therefore almost invisible, people are attacked only by the larvae of these representatives, being the carriers of fever.

In order not to get sick after a walk in the forest or a trip to the river, you need to observe some precautions and be careful. Going to nature, dress so that the body is as close as possible. Do not leave the mites to penetrate the hair on the head or climb into the shoes. Be sure to inspect each other after a walk. To be fully armed, you need to know the "enemy" in person, so be sure to check out in special books photo ticks that can be dangerous. If there are suspicions of an insect bite, immediately go to the doctor. Do not try to remove the tick itself, if it has already dug into the skin, so you will tear off its abdomen, and the poisonous head will remain. A couple drops of castor oil will help to remove the whole insect, leaving no parts of your body in your body.

Inspect not only yourself, but your pet, his ears and nose. Many varieties of ticks are carried by dogs, cats and other domestic animals.

With observance of simple rules, your rest will be pleasant and not overshadowed by painful consequences.
