Ticks get stuck in

Press/Media: ResearchAcademic

Description

It isn’t easy to remove a tick that attaches itself to your 
skin, because they’re soon firmly stuck in place. They 
do that by creating a conical layer of cement, like mortar 
to glue themselves on. Siddhart Deshpande (Physical 
Chemistry and Soft Matter) and his team think they know 
how the tick does it.
