Ticks are the second largest transporter of diseases, second only to the air born mosquitos. This makes ticks a rather serious annoyance, and even though they are incredibly small (about the size of a match head), their painless bite makes them a significant threat.

If you begin to experience symptoms associated with a tick bite, including sore joints or swelling, get to a doctor immediately as you may have contracted a tick born disease, such as Lyme Disease.

Despite the importance of biological clocks, their mechanisms have remained unclear. Now, a team of researchers from the University of Georgia has produced the first working model that explains how biological clocks work.
