Ticks are small blood sucking creatures. They tend to either climb or fall on to their unsuspecting victim. Ticks can carry a number of infectious diseases including Lime Disease and Tick-Borne Encephalitis, and can pass these infections to their host through their saliva. Carrying a tick remover whether walking with your pet, horse riding, hiking, or playing outdoor sports, is highly recommended.
