Ticks feed by attaching to animals and
sucking blood.

Ticks wait at the end of a piece of grass or on logs until an animal or person brushes against them.
Ticks are really small

Tick Life Cycle
Baby ticks (larva) feed on small animals
Can you find the baby ticks (larva)?
*Hint! they have 6 legs.
![Page 12: California Department of Public Health Vector-Borne Disease Section](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013105/551a260a55034619378b555e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Tick Life Cycle
Baby ticks (larva) have 6 legs
![Page 13: California Department of Public Health Vector-Borne Disease Section](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013105/551a260a55034619378b555e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Tick Life Cycle
After the larva suck blood, they become a larger tick, called a nymph.
Nymph ticks have 8 legs
![Page 14: California Department of Public Health Vector-Borne Disease Section](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013105/551a260a55034619378b555e/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Tick Life Cycle
Nymphs suck blood from another small animal.
After the nymphs eat, they become adult ticks. Adult ticks look just like nymphs, but bigger.
![Page 15: California Department of Public Health Vector-Borne Disease Section](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013105/551a260a55034619378b555e/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Tick Life Cycle
Adult ticks like to suck blood from deer. When ticks suck blood, their bodies expand and they look like a raisin with legs.
![Page 16: California Department of Public Health Vector-Borne Disease Section](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013105/551a260a55034619378b555e/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Tick Life Cycle
When an adult tick is done feeding, it will lay eggs. The eggs will hatch into larva ticks and start the cycle all over again.
![Page 17: California Department of Public Health Vector-Borne Disease Section](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013105/551a260a55034619378b555e/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Tick Life Cycle
Sometimes nymphs and adult ticks accidentally bite a person instead of
an animal!

• Wear bug spray.
• Wear long pants and a long-sleeved shirt.
• Wear light-colored clothes because it is easier to see ticks on them.
• Tuck your pants into your socks or boots and tuck in your shirt.
• Stay on trails.

After ticks get on an animal or a person they look for a good hiding place and so it is hard
to see them.
![Page 21: California Department of Public Health Vector-Borne Disease Section](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013105/551a260a55034619378b555e/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
• Check everyone in your family for ticks.
After you go for a hike, or everyday if there are ticks where
you play:
• Ask your parents or another adult to help you do a tick check.
![Page 22: California Department of Public Health Vector-Borne Disease Section](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013105/551a260a55034619378b555e/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
•Check your pets very carefully. Ticks can be hard to see on animals with dark fur.
![Page 23: California Department of Public Health Vector-Borne Disease Section](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013105/551a260a55034619378b555e/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Remove it quickly and properly.
An adult can help you get the tick out of your skin with tweezers.
![Page 24: California Department of Public Health Vector-Borne Disease Section](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013105/551a260a55034619378b555e/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
1. Grab the tick close to your skin with the tweezers or a tissue and pull straight out.
2. Wash where the tick bit you.
3. Wash your hands.
4. If you get sick after a tick bite you should go to the doctor.
