although arthropods are the most numerous phylum on earth, and thousands of arthropod species are venomous, they inflict relatively few serious bites and stings on humans. far more serious are the effects on humans of diseases carried by blood-sucking insects. other blood-sucking insects infect livestock with diseases that kill many animals and greatly reduce the usefulness of others. ticks can cause tick paralysis and several parasite-borne diseases in humans. a few of the closely related mites also infest humans, causing intense itching, and others cause allergic diseases, including hay fever, asthma, and eczema.
