Ticks go through four life stages, to complete this complex life cycle, ticks must take a blood meal at every stage, the immature ticks take a blood meal on small animals/ birds, But adult ticks prefer larger hosts, like dogs, deer and in some cases humans, Ticks are most common in humid climates, and are usually found in scrubby or grassy places. Rashes will appear differently depending on the pathogen that’s been introduced to the body through a tick bite.
