A host is an organism that the parasite lives on. In other words the parasite may use the host's resources in a negative way. For example: A tick living off the blood of a human. The tick is the parasite and the human is the host. The tick lives off the blood of the human.
Ticks sucking blood from a host organism is an example of parasitism. The tick grows from its host, but contributes nothing to the host organism.
A tick biting a dog to feed on its blood is an example of parasitism, where one organism (the tick) benefits at the expense of the other (the dog). The tick obtains nutrients from the dog's blood while potentially causing harm or discomfort to the dog.
The duration of ...tick...tick...tick... is 1.67 hours.
A parasitic organism, such as a tick or tapeworm, depends entirely on another living organism for its existence by feeding off of it and causing harm to the host organism in the process. Parasites can weaken or even kill their host, ultimately reducing the host's chances of survival.
In all actually, ticks do not kill humans-what they care in their body fluids do. For example, tick-borne Lyme disease the tick first has to be infected by the organism. Second have blood contact with the host for about eight hours. I would like to recommend WebMD.com for further explanations.
