About this eBook
Avoid these tiny, disease-carrying hitchhikers—they are ticks! In this book, you will learn how ticks are similar to and different from other arachnids. Close-up photographs and diagrams reveal extraordinary details about the tick’s body both inside and out. And a hands-on activity will show you how a tick’s bite can spread disease-causing organisms through your body—or your pet’s body. Learn more about this fascinating member of nature’s Arachnid World.
