| Ticks are not venomous. | |
| Ticks are related to spiders, scorpions, and mites. | |
| They are about 1/8 of an inch long. | |
| Ticks are not insects. | |
| Their body is all one piece. | |
| Sometimes ticks are called deer, sheep, or cattle ticks. This is misleading because they feed on other animals or human blood. | |
| Ticks draw blood from a beak. | |
| Ticks do not have fangs or a stinger. | |
| If a tick gets on you, you take some fine tipped tweezers and pull it off by the head. |
