For this week's BLOG, I would like for you to pick one of the following organisms and explain why it is considered to have a symbiotic relationship with other organisms. Respond to A and B for 10 points.

A)They are parasites because they feed on warm blooded animals.The health related problems are they leave skin rashes.They can also cause alergic reaction to the bite.
B)Bed bugs are parasites that perfer to feed on human blood.They were developed in the 1940's.They are called bed bugs because they hide in beds and when we sleep they feast.
Isaac core A)A bedbug is considered a parasite because it feeds off of blood from warm blooded animals. They cause many health risks including skin rashes. They are a reddish brown color,flattened,oval shape, and wingless. Bedbugs drink blood and they usuelly come out at night,it pierces the skin with 2 long tubes it usuelly feeds for about 5 minutes. Bedbugs only feed on humans when other food is not available. All bedbugs mate by traumatic insemination. Females have no genital opening so the male pierces her abdomen with his hypodermic genitalia. Bedbugs have 6 life stages a molting process called ecdysis occurs all 6 times the shell is clear and see through.To treat them you need pesticide and non-pesticides.
(A)they are parasites because they have to feed on warm blood from humans or animals.they leave skin rashes and alergic reactions to the bites.
(B)tape worms are parasites because it goes into organisms and uses what it needs. the reaction can cause seizures,constipation and musal weakness
Bedbugs
A. They are called parasites because they feed on human blood. When they take your blood, they make you have skin rashes, phycological effects, and allergic symptoms.
B.Adult bedbugs are reddish-brown, flattened, oval, and wingless. They have tiny microscopic hairs which make them look like they have bands on them. Bedbugs feed on humans when they have no prey to feed on. A bedbug pierces the skin of its prey with two hollow feeding tubes. With one tube it injects its saliva and the other withdraws the blood. Bedbugs mate by piercing the females abdominals and ejaculating. Bedbugs have six life stages. They will shed their skins throughout multiple stages of their lives. The discarded outer-shells look like clear, empty exoskeletons of the bugs themselves.

A) The bedbug is considered a parasite because it lives near or on humans/warm-blooded animals and get nutrients from them. Some health effects are that you could get skin rashes, psychological effects and allergic symptoms. This parasite sucks and drinks your blood.
B) Bedbugs are a brownish color and have microscopic hairs. Their shape is a flattened oval look with no wings. They can live in various levels of temperatures. The bedbug lives on blood from mostly humans by piercing into the skin. The male has to pierce the latter into the abdomen to the female and most of the eggs are fertile. There are six life stages of the bedbug and their skin is shed. Ways to get rid of bedbugs is to vacuum them up, heat treating, or wrapping the mattres in plastic.

DEER TICK
A) The deer tick is considered a parisite because it sucks blood from a deer and parisites it. It can give you many diseases if it gets you.
B)The abdomen of the Deer tick is light grayish blue color which is a characteristic. The food source of the deer tick is mostly the white tailed deer. It feeds on it for 4-5 days. After it feeds on a deer it drops into the grass of the forest and lays thousands of eggs. Once the babys are born they go off on there own and look for sources to infect. If the tick gets you you will want to get it of asap because it can give you many diseases.
Why is this organism considered a parasite and what health related issues does this organism cause?
Because it eats your flesh, and you have to get a doctor to fix it.
• Describe the physical characteristics of the organism
• Can grow up to 12 m long, and is a type of worm.
• its feeding habits/food source
• Your flesh, and other small things.
• how it reproduces
• Any male or female organ.
• stages of development
• If you eat raw meat, fish or anything of that sort, you’ll get it, then it will get your organ and reproduce, and so on.
• Treatment for exterminating organism
• Medical attention.

A) Bedbugs are considered a parasite because it lives on or near a wamblooded animal and gets nutrients from them. Health risks associated with bedbugs are skin rashes, phychological effects and allergic symptoms. It also sucks your blood.
B)Bedbugs are oval shaped and have no wings. They have microscopic hairs and are a brownish color. Bedbugs feed on human blood when they have no pery to feed on. It injects two hollow tubes and injects saliva with one and sucks blood from the other one. Bedbugs reproduce by piercing the femals abdomen and enjaculating. They have 6 life stages. Throughout these stages they shed their skin a lot. To exterminate bedbugs you must use certain pesticides such as pyrethroids, dichlorvos, and malathion have been found effective.

A)They are paracides because they can infect your home. They cause health problems because they bite you in your sleep and live off you.
B) Bedbugs are about ¼ of an inch and they are black or gray.Bedbugs eat off human blood.They lay eggs in beds.They start off as babies and grow bigger into adults.It is hard to kill bedbugs they nest in hard to reach places they have bombs you can set off now to kill them.
1) A bedbug is a parasite because it feeds on the blood of warm blooded creatures. Bedbugs can cause skin rashes and allergic reactions to a bite.
2) A Bedbug is a reddish brown, oval, flat, and wingless creature. The bedbugs main source of food is human blood because most of the time it is the only food source. The reprdocutive system is unuasully weird with a bed bug. To treat them, you have to call an exterminator.
