Grass-ticks: Dab some eucalyptus oil, or methylated spirits on the tick. This works better than scraping it off, which leaves an itchy swelling.   Panoculus (40)

Sand-flies (biting midges): The bite of these tiny insects can be prevented by covering the skin, wearing insect repellent, or developing immunity by continued exposure. They don't transmit pathogens, but the sting and itchiness is a nuisance and can last a few weeks.   Panoculus (40)

Crocodiles: Freshwater types don't attack humans (they are two metres long or less, with a thin snout). Saltwater (estuarine) types do, and are larger, longer, and have a broad snout. Prevent attacks by being alert around smoothly-sloping shorelines of rivers, seas, and lakes in tropical climate areas.   Panoculus (40)
