TERMITES

While they are not dangerous in the typical sense of the word as

they play a critical role in the environment and even in some

culture’s diets, they have the potential to cause major damage to

crops and infrastructure.

 

 

LICE

Lice are wingless scavengers that feed on the skin of the host’s

body, or on other secretions such as blood. On the average,

humans who serve as hosts to lice have about fifteen different

species of lice on their heads. Although like termites they are not

always dangerous to humans in the classic sense they do have

the ability to transmit diseases.

 

 

DEER TICK

Every year the Deer Tick infects thousands of people with

Lyme Disease. Lyme Disease begins with a rash around the bite

resembling a bull’s eye. Early symptoms include head ache and fever.

As time passes, the victim will suffer stiff joints and heart problems.

Few victims die from the disease but their suffering can go on for years.

 

 

ARMY ANTS

The first creature on our list that would be dangerous in the

typical sense of the word, army ants are known for their aggression,

especially as predators. Unlike other species of ants, army ants do

not construct their own permanent nests. Instead, they build

colonies that move from one place to another. These predators

incessantly move during the day, preying upon insects and other small

vertebrates. In fact the entire colony put together can consume over

half a million prey animals each day.

 

 

YELLOW JACKETS

Although most yellow jackets are little more than a pest,

certain species such as the German yellow jacket of North America

are bold and aggressive, and if provoked, they can sting repeatedly and

painfully. They will even mark their aggressors and pursue

them if provoked.

 

 

BLACK WIDOWS

Although the sting of a female black widow spider can be very

harmful to humans due to the neurotoxins released, if medical

attention is sought immediately then the effects of the bite can be

limited to little more than some pain.

 

 

PUSS CATERPILLARS

Although they look cute and furry, and even supposedly derived their

name from their resemblance to “pussy cats”, do not be deceived.

Their fur hides spines that can cause an extremely painful reaction upon

contact with human skin and sometimes causes chest pain,

numbness, or difficulty breathing.

 

 

COCKROACHES

One of the best known disease carrying bugs, cockroaches have

been known to carry numerous disease agents that can be very

dangerous to humans. And here’s a fun fact for you, they can live

for months without food and water.

 

 

PARASITIC WORMS

Parasitic worms are a type of eukaryotic parasite that get their

nourishment from absorbing the nutrients of their hosts by sucking their

blood. Most parasitic worms are known to dwell inside the digestive

tract of humans and cause insomnia, vomiting, nausea, and

numerous other issues.
