If I were to ask you what your favorite season is, the winning option would probably be summer, right? Indeed, summer brings with it so many benefits, such as fewer clothes, the day lasts longer, the nights are cool, and going out in with friends feels different. With the arrival of summer, however, the annoying insects that never hesitate to annoy us appear. It just couldn’t be perfect, could it? Among the most dangerous of insects are the notorious ticks. These tiny horrible monsters can cause serious problems, even death. Follow this article to the end and you will see how dangerous these vampire insects can be.

Who doesn’t like cats? These living things have such a simple life that some people may become envious of their lazy and carefree style. A 50-year-old woman from Japan met a cat on her way home, and as she could not help herself because she also had a cat at home, so she stopped to caress her. The cat wasn’t so gentle, she probably hadn’t slept enough and bit her. Being accustomed to the versatile temperament of cats, the woman did not notice and continued on her way. In the following days, she began to feel worse and worse, she had a headache and a fever that worsened over time.

This case was brought to light only a year later, and the person was kept anonymous. 10 days after the bite, the woman died due to a rapidly evolving disease. The woman became ill and she got thrombocytopenia, and this disease is practically defined by a very low number of platelets, which have a very important role in blood clotting. This infectious disease has not been transmitted from animal to human, this being the first case that took place in 2013. Share this story!
