TICKS

​

​​

  • Ticks inject anesthetics so that you don't feel anything.

  • Ticks inject anticoagulants so that the blood will keep flowing where they are biting and it doesn't clog.

  • Ticks inject antihistamines so that you don't feel the itch when they bite.

  • Ticks inject molecules that fight your immune system so you are immune-suppressed where they bite you.
