They are also important vectors of dis- ease-causing agents. According to Dr. Xing Ping Hu, an Alabama Extension specialist and Auburn University professor of Entomology, there are two groups of ticks: hard-body and soft-body. The most common species in Alabama are hard- body ticks. These ticks have a shield on their backs and are removal. iT)o not use a hot match or cigarette to remove the tick as this may cause the tick to burst.

When they feed, ticks grab onto a host, secrete an anes- thetic and painlessly burrow into the skin with their mouth patts Bites can cause skin irri- tations or even allergic f ac- tions in sensitive people and pets. iAs a result, ticks transmit the widest variety of pathogens of any blood-suck- ing arthropod,/ said Dr. Hu. Some human diseases from ticks include Lyme disease, ehrlichiosis, babesiosis, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, tularemia and tick-borne relapsing fever./ If a tick attaches to you or your pet, remove it as soon as possible. Prompt removal reduces the chance of infection by Rocky Mountain spotted fever or Lyme disease. Dr. Hu offers the following advice when removing ticks from a host i'Shield your fingers with a paper towel, use tweezers or wear rubber gloves. Grasp the tick close to the skin, and with steady pressure, pull stlaight out. il)0 not twist or jerk, as mouthparts may be left in the skin. Take care not to crush or puncture the tick during monthly and annual training periods. To get started, you must have a minimum ACT of 19 or SAT of 920 and must graduate from college and must com- mission as a second lieutenant before your 32nd birthday. You must also be a U.S. citizen and able to obtain a Secret security clearance. If you are interested in a comprehensive scholarship and serving your community, state, and country, this may be the best opportunity for you.
