Can dog ticks get to people?
Ticks from dogs can spread to people.Ticks are also called dog beans. When they are dry, they are about the size of a mung bean. When they are full of blood, they become the size of a plump soybean, even as big as a fingernail. It is common on livestock and in wild grasslands and other places. Pets kept at home are also prone to ticks if they are not bathed frequently.
Tick bites are infectious diseases, and people are generally susceptible to the disease. Medical staff or their caregivers who have close contact with critically ill patients and have direct contact with patient blood and other body fluids may also be infected if they do not pay attention to protection.
