Flea and Tick

Ticks are small arachnids that feed on human and animal blood as an external parasite. These parasites make their habitat in wooded areas and fields. Also, ticks are known to carry several harmful diseases that they transmit to their host when they bite them.

Fleas are small, flat insects that, like ticks, need human and animal blood to survive. Fleas are wingless creatures and mainly target the hairy parts of mammals and the plumage of birds as their feeding ground. Globally, there are more than 2,400 species of fleas. However, only a few of these species feed on humans and animals.
