Why are ticks so dangerous

394 viewsBiologyOther

As summer rolls in I feel like every day there is a new disease carried by ticks. At first I thought it was a dirty blood issue but mosquitoes don’t carry the same diseases. Yes I know mosquitos are also bad.

Ticks like mosquitoes aren’t dangerous by themselves, it is purely the diseases they carry. The diseases are different because they need to be transported by an animal which has its own immune system which can fight diseases, the disease needs to be adapted to survive in both hosts.
