Tick paralysis is a serious condition caused by the toxin of the paralysis tick (Ixodes holocyclus), predominantly found along the East Coast of Australia. These ticks attach to pets, becoming engorged as they feed on blood, and inject their toxin, which can lead to life-threatening symptoms in dogs and cats.
