Tick Bites - Home Treatment

Most ticks do not carry diseases, and most tick bites do not cause serious health problems. The sooner ticks are removed, the less likely they are to spread disease.
Some ticks are so small it is hard to see them. This makes it hard to tell whether you have removed the tick's head. If you do not see any obvious parts of the tick's head in the bite site, assume you have removed the entire tick, but watch for signs of a skin infection.

How to treat spider bites

steps :-

1. Remove the stinger as soon as possible. Contrary to popular belief, it does not matter how you remove it, simply pulling out with fingers is fine.

 

 

2.Look for symptoms of an allergic reaction

• Difficulty breathing
• Hives that appear as a red, itchy rash and spread to areas beyond the sting
• Swelling of the face, throat or mouth tissue
• Wheezing or difficulty swallowing
• Restlessness and anxiety
• Rapid pulse
• Dizziness or a sharp drop in blood pressure

If the symptoms are present, seek emergency medical attention. Take an antihistamine as soon as possible and be ready to use the epinephrine part of an emergency allergy kit, if it has been prescribed in the past.

TYPES OF ANIMALS

  Vertebrates

Although not the most numerous group of animals in either number of individuals or in number of taxa, the vertebrates are an endlessly fascinating group of animals. Vertebrates are interesting partly because we are intimately familiar with them, but also because we ARE them. Our species, Homo sapiens, is included within the Vertebrata.

Invertebrates

ANIMALS WITHOUT BACKBONE

Of the million or more animal species in the world, more than 98% are invertebrates. Invertebrates don't have an internal skeleton made of bone. Many invertebrates have a fluid-filled, hydrostatic skeleton, like the jelly fish or worm. Others have a hard outer shell, like insects and crustaceans. There are many types of invertebrates. The most common invertebrates include the protozoa, annelids, echinoderms, mollusks and arthropods. Arthropods include insects, crustaceans and arachnids.

 cannibal

A cannibal is an animal that feeds on others of its own species. This is not an animal unnatural characteristics: around 140 different species show cannibalistic

tendencies under various conditions. Cannibalism is most common among lower vertebrates and invertebrates often due to a predatory animal mistaking one of its own kind for prey.

But it also occurs among birds and mammals, especially when food is scarce.

Carnivores

A carnivores means 'meat eater' animal

CARNIVORES is an animal with a diet consisting mainly of meat, whether it comes from animals living or dead (scavenging). Some animals are

considered carnivores even if their diets contain very little meat but involve preying on other animals Animals that subsist on a diet consisting only of meat are referred to as

obligate carnivores. Plants that capture and digest insects are called carnivorous plants. Similarly fungi that capture microscopic animals are often called carnivorous fungi.

Scavengers

The word scavenger, in zoology, refers to animals that consume already dead organic life-forms. Scavengers are useful to the ecosystem by feeding on and therefore

breaking down dead animal and plant remains. The remains that are left behind by the scavengers are then used even further by decomposers. Well known scavengers include

vultures, burying beetles, blowflies, and raccoons. Many large carnivores that hunt regularly--such as hyenas and lions--will scavenge if given the chance.
