Ticks are parasites often encountered in the parklands and national parks around Sydney and its outer environs. Ticks suck blood. There are many species but the one that poses most risk to pets and humans is the Paralysis tick Ixodes holocyclus. It is a coastal pest and although most bites from a tick result in easy removal and no harm done, some can result in serious illness including
  • Paralysis which can show symptoms such as unsteady on their feet, weakness of the limbs, rashes, headache, fever, tenderness of lymph nodes, and partial facial paralysis,
  • Tick typhus (an infection with a rickettsia (bacteria-like organism) transmitted from native animals by ixodid ticks) and
  • Severe allergic reactions, which can include a mild itching, localised swelling to widespread swelling with pain.
