Tick: A pest. A problematic insect. Also refered to as a BoRe. The tick/BoRe easily gets under your skin causing irritation. The Tick/BoRe seems to be found in most parts of the world. It is an annoyance to nearly every known creature. It's only known natural enemy is 2 species found within the UK. They are commonly refered to as the "Lion1" and "Lion2". The tick/BoRe immediatly runs/retreats at the sight of these creatures. The only known cure for the tick/BoRe is the use of the "ignore" feature.

A small insect that attaches it's self to other living creatures and sucks their blood thus gaining the name pest. Ticks must be removed from the body or it will cause serious damage to the host such as blood loss. If ticks are found on animals it is best to get them to the vet asap.
Jessie a 9 week old puppy masstif was coverd in more then 1,000 ticks and if she wasn't found when she was she would of died of blood loss.
