Ticks are hungry most of their lives. Although the likes of ants, beetles and mice feed on them, their population is very large. The oldest traces of ticks were found in fossils from 99 million years ago. As a rule, no species of tick is a direct parasite of man. Despite this, the meadow tick and pasture tick pose a real threat to humans. A parasite bite is associated with the risk of infection with microorganisms causing Lyme disease or tick-borne encephalitis.
