What is a hard tick?

There are two types of ticks. The hard tick is one with a hard shield just behind the mouth. When it did not adhere, the hard tick looks like a flat seed. The soft tick does not have this hard shield and looks like a raisin. The first feeds on dogs, deer and other medium to large mammals, while the second normally feeds on birds and bats. Hard ticks have a very visible mouth, unlike soft ticks whose mouths are hardly visible. This allows a woman to become more affected by blood than a male. The males do not spread so much during the feeding process. They have been hardening for several days and are the most effective bearers of the disease because blood slowly sucks after firm blood attachment. They are waiting for the Brus of Host Animals at grasses and shrubs in which they are and rises. They cannot fly or jump, so they are able to wait months in vegetation until a potential host passes.

once on the host, the hard tick pierces the skin and begins to suck the blood.The host does not feel any pain or irritation, so the tick is able to stay in place as long as it needs. Hard ticks usually feed for several days until it dramatically increases its body weight. Then it falls off, lays thousands of eggs and dies.

Fixed tick The man is not interested in food as in finding a partner who is their main purpose attaching to the host animal. It may be easier to feed on the absorbed female hard tick than on the host. Soon after mating the man dies.

Ticks are quite able to join the human host and, because they are the main bearers of the disease, the cares must be a walk through low bushy areas, abandoned buildings and caves. Ticks are small, so exploring the body and clothing should be done thoroughly. Domestic animals, especially his head and ears, should also be checked. Winter is the only season when ticks do not prevail, so in all other seasons it is necessary to check ticks after walking in forests or grassof these areas.
